The Time Traveler's Almanac

Very large anthology of time travel stories. I've read 60 of the 65 stories and the hit to miss ratio is pretty poor. Probably going to move on to something else.

The best of the bunch:

“The Lost Pilgrim” by Gene Wolfe
“The Mouse Ran Down” by Adrian Tchaikovsky
“Under Siege” by George R. R. Martin
“Fire Watch” by Connie Willis
“Vintage Season” by Henry Kuttner & C. L. Moore

It also includes an abridged version of "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells. I don't really get why they would include an abridged version of a classic story. They should have included Alfred Bester's "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed" or Heinlein's "By His Bootstraps" and "All You Zombies" or maybe Fredric Brown's "Hall of Mirrors" instead.
