Hi --
Thanks so much, Laurent!
I was actually kind of close (you told me not to peep, so I didn't hehe).

(defn pt30 [file]
    (def ^:dynamic *asb* (StringBuilder.))
    (let [afr (FileReader. file) 
         bfr (BufferedReader. afr)]
       (loop [x (.read bfr)
              *asb* (StringBuilder.)]
             (when (not (= x -1))
             (recur (.read bfr) (.append *asb* (java.lang.Character/toChars 
x)))))))

with  (def ribs "/path/to/ribs.txt")

which looks similar. But, for some reason, the *asb* variable didn't 
populate with rib advertisements:

user> (pt30 ribs)
nil
user> *asb*
#object[java.lang.StringBuilder 0x29f4eb0c ""]

When I convert this practically to the same you did,
user> (defn pt34 [file]
    (let [afr (FileReader. file) 
         bfr (BufferedReader. afr)]
       (loop [x (.read bfr)
              sb (StringBuilder.)]
             (if (not (= x -1))
             (.toString sb1)
               (recur (.read bfr) (.append sb (char x)))))))
#'user/pt34
user> (pt34 ribs)
""
I still get no beef (err, ribs). Doesn't print anything either. 

Weird. Just weird.
