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.
