Having finally gotten lucky enough to wind a Goodreads giveaway, I have Rachman's "Rise & Fall" next in line...
The Rise & Fall of Great Powers
Followed by Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore
&
Robogenesis
And if I can get through those before Fall...Tigerman
&
California
None of which I am buying on Amazon.
