IN THE MAIL: An advance copy of John Scalzi’s new book, Old Man’s War. I haven’t read it yet, but the blurb from Cory Doctorow says that it’s like Starship Troopers without the lectures, or Forever War with better sex.

There seem to be a lot of blogger books out. Scott Ott’s Axis of Weasels continues to do well in the Amazon rankings. Bill Whittle has a new book out. And Jim Bennett’s new book, The Anglosphere Challenge, owes a lot to the blogosphere, which picked up his Anglosphere idea and ran with it.
