826 Seattle is pleased to present their fifth anthology, What To Read in the Rain, 2012. The stories in this book come to you from the Northwest corner of the United States, crafted by either a Pacific Northwest author or a to-be-renowned young author - with one exception; we offer a story by Dave Eggers, the founder of 826 National, of which 826 Seattle is a chapter. Dave lives in California. Consider: - Tales of travels, from our own Deception Pass or Boeing Field to real life in Mexico and Cuba. - Characters, real and imagined, springing forth from the verdant, moist landscape of Cascadia. - How frequently animals appear in these pages. - Bookend essays on writing from Northwest literary icon Tom Robbins. These stories are a good read anywhere - although we especially recommend the reading to be done from an overstuffed chair pushed up against a window onto which a steady rain is falling. - from Amzon
