Narratives of Large Scale Engineering

Should have a strong narrative, a story line. No technical books. These should be for popular reading.

Invited several and will invite more. Most of my friends don't vote on these but I find them fascinating. Goodreads has malfunctioned a little today for me also.

Thom, is the invite system not working for you at all? I know there is a daily limit on the number of emails and invites you can send (do prevent spam). Maybe selecting all your friends is going over the limit. Maybe if you do it in smaller batches it will work?
