Back to our regularly scheduled novelist.

[kelber at mindspring.com]

I'd be inclined to read VL first, since it's sort of a sequel to ATD (Traverse family-wise), followed by COL49, which seems closer to what IV promises to be about (am I the only one who thinks IV was written back in the  late 60s-early 70s, its title being a self-referential joke about 
poor-quality items prone to decay?).
