The Reading List is a http://del.icio.us feed. To add to it, you need a delicious account of your own. You then would use the save for feature as a tag when you save the bookmark you want to show up in the reading list.
For example, if you want a website about teas to show up in the Tea Zoo, you would bookmark it in your delicous account and add the tag "for:zoobird, tea" (without quotes)
You can also ask me to add it.
There's a Note about it here.

Comment by Michael Levin on June 25, 2008 at 6:17pm
- Just so you know! There's a new feature here in the Mind, Body and Spirit Zoobird group. It's called "Mind, Body and Spirit Reading List", and it's a del.icio.us link library. What's del.icio.us? Why, it's a place on the Web to store bookmarks of your favorite websites. And, Mind, Body and Spirit has its own del.icio.us site. It's http://del.icio.us/zoobird/spirit. If you'd like to add a bookmark to this reading list, you'll have to create your own del.icio.us account first. But, that just takes seconds. Then, save the link to the site you think is interesting and add the tag "for:zoobird" Your link will show up in the Zoobird Reading List feed and eventually on this page. It's that simple!

Albert Eisentraut Bicycles
Albert Eisentraut acquired an appreciation of hand built bicycles at the elbow of legendary Paramount maker Oscar Wastyn in Chicago, and Albert, in many ways, is the dean of modern (post Korean War) USA custom frame builders. His frames, especially the famous "Model A" frames of the 1960s and 70s, had a special sculptural aesthetic and unorthodoxy in their shaping.
