I listened to Fevre Dream whilst doing my organlegger job. Lots of hours
stack up between Boulder Creek and Sacramento via San Francisco Airport
and then home or Boulder Creek, to the airport, to UCSF Hospital and
back. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If his info on riverboats was correct
(adding fat to the firebox to increase heat, etc.), I learned a bit
about them in the process.
