Orphans of the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein

wfzimmerman's review: "I'm not sure how many of these Heinlein juveniles are worth keeping. I think maybe it's time for revisiting the Heinlein hagiography that's so prevalent in SF fandom.

I need to do a list of which Heinleins are worth keeping..."

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People by Toby Young

wfzimmerman's review: "Hard to classify this book -- self-flagellating, wittily self-deprecating memoir? Only the few asides about the author's father -- an accomplished scholar and man of substance -- give much hint of who the real Toby Young is. Terrifically enjoyable reading, though."
Da Capo Press (2003), Paperback, 340 pages
