    Okay! it's on the acquisition list.  Without 'novel' in the search 
list I was in Montana in the FY98.  Interesting for a few minutes, at 
least.
    Hmm, what else?  That great running battle in the Indian Ocean in
Patrick O'Brien's opus, about midway through.  But rain just has cameos 
in the series.  Ah! _Sometimes A Great Notion_ features rain front and 
center.  It's been a few years since I was down 126 toward the coast.  
I expect the house has finally rotted into the Siuslaw by now; there
were a few timbers left standing the last I saw.  It was waiting out 
Kesey, I bet.
    _The Drowned World_ seems like a candidate, J.G. Ballard, but I 
haven't read it.  _Winter Tides_, another Blaylock, maybe. Unread.
_The Perfect Storm_ seems like another unread possibility.  The
movie about that expedition down the Amazon, what was it, _Aguire,
The Wrath of God_ maybe?  It must have a novel.
    Just a sprinkle of soggy books; there must be more.
