No I didn't. I shall check that out at some point (I had to go and look to make sure it was a real book, and not some subtle joke that I was missing  )

Regarding Larry Niven I would also recommend 'Legacy of Heorot' & the sequel 'Beowulf's Children'

Re: What are you reading?
Mortal Engines Quartet aka Hungry City Chronicles by Philip Reeve.
From Wikimedia:
"The Quartet is set in the distant future, in an age known as the Traction Era. Earth has been reduced to wasteland by a devastating conflict, known as the Sixty Minute War. Nations no longer exist, except in the lands of the Anti-Traction League; Traction Cities - entire cities mounted on caterpillar tracks for mobility - are fiercely independent city-states, using giant jaws to devour one another for resources. Trade is mostly accomplished by airship, though sometimes cities of roughly equal size (unable to devour each other) will stop to trade. Old-Tech (technology from before the Traction Era, some of which is from the 21st century) is the most sought-after commodity.
