A new home for Saturday's good reading and listening guide

Ian McAuley’s guide to good reading and listening for the weekend has moved.

Ian McAuley’s regular Saturday column, “Saturday’s good reading and listening for the weekend”, will no longer be published each week on Pearls and Irritations. But his loyal readers can still find the same regular post every week at his website, ianmcauley.com.

Ian has been a valued part of the Pearls and Irritations community for many years, and we thank him for his support and contributions.
