Bessie, fetch my rifle! Kraftwerk is startin' to get uppity. Despite the snarky nature of this article, I'm glad to see they're putting something out. I do love the Kraftwerk.
I am very happy with the shiny "new" translation of The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne I found at Goodwill recently. I'm 40 pages into it and it's impressive. The copy I've got is an Advance Reader's Edition (which crop up a lot in the Boston area,) so it doesn't have the introduction by Caleb Carr, who wrote my favorite historical crime novel that's not From Hell. (On the subject of Carr: this link takes you to a very, very bad fanpage and I am not responsible for your eyes melting, but it's the only one I can find.)
