|Hmm. I've used attr_accessor (with an "o" instead of an "e") so far,

|attr instead of attr_reader. Anything wrong with that?

Sorry, accessor is a typo.

BTW, about the defference between attr and attr_reader, you can
specify multiple names by attr_reader.  Some (including me) prefer the
style like:

  attr_reader :foo, :bar, :baz

more than

  attr :foo
  attr :bar
  attr :baz

But YMMV.
