Incoming Books: 17 January

A very mixed bag today:
  • The Clumsiest People in Europe, Mrs. Favell Lee Mortimer, edited by Todd Pruzan
  • Old Man's War, John Scalzi
  • James Tiptree, Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon, Julie Phillips
  • The New Book of Lists, David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace
Here's my prediction: I'll read Clumsiest within a week, poke through Tiptree off and on but never actually finish it, and use New Book of Lists as a bathroom reader sometime in 2007. Old Man has about a 50/50 chance of being read; if I get to it quickly, it will, but if it languishes on the pile until spring, it'll probably still be there in five years.
