I'm behind on my KSR reading: still haven't read Rice and Salt, and I didn't know the new one was out.
Did you read the California Trilogy? Good stuff there, particularly The Gold Coast, which (now that I think of it) came nearer to the truth than anyone could have expected at the time (if you swapped out designer-drugs for dot-coms)...
I love Sewer Gas and Electric but I retain strong sentimental fondness for Fool on the Hill, which is over the top and self-indulgent, but I don't care, since I went to Cornell at the same time Ruff did. That novel's like old home week for the Cornell of the early 80s. And he has the balls to kill off the coolest character in the novel. Which I liked.
I liked Bet Me well enough, but not as much as Welcome to Temptation and Faking It. Perhaps I'm just not fond enough of chicken marsala. *g*
