Is the Dark Carnival still open by the Claremont? Used to be a cool bookstore when I was living up there. You could get books signed by MZ Bradley and Robert Silverberg.
I inhaled the last third of the book, and had to ration out the last few chapters to savor it. Cracks me up 'cause I have a gun-nut relative in Sandpoint. Bogged down a little in the middle; NS does NS better than he does Tom Clancy. Anticipated more interplay between T'rain and the 'real world' as a literary device, especially the geology aspect.
