Finished THIS TIME TOGETHER

 

It appears, according to Goodreads, that I have read this before--about 5 years ago.  I remembered none of it and laughed often and loudly.  I believe my review of 5 years ago is as accurate today as it was then.

I have now started Fevre Dream by George RR Martin (of Game of Thrones fame).  Captain Marsh, formally an owner of six river boats plying trade on the Mississippi in the mid-1850s has had 5 of those boats destroyed by weather, when he receives a letter from a Mr. Joshua York who wants to buy a 50% interest in Captain Marsh's fleet at an enormous sum.  This is puzzling, but makes our hero curious.
