Novelist Nick Harkaway is best when he doesn't take things too seriously. That's a yes on The Gone Away World and Angelmaker, and a reluctant no on Gnomon.

The long-awaited version 3.0 of Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music is here! Read the opinionated, wise guy text. Groove to the hundreds of minutely categorized tracks.

I should discuss it with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
