Completion Upon The Cheek

Cloud Atlas was completed last night; just to recount:

Books 2005
1) Civil War Vol. 1 - Foote
2) The Plot Against America -- Roth
3) The Newton Letter - John Banville
4) Cubano Be Cubano Bop
5) Men At Arms - Waugh
6) Cloud Atlas -- Mitchell

It is back to Magic Mountain, though it will be Shiloh by Foote, allowing my wife to catch up per the Mann. Upon digestion of the first 60 pages of the Foote, most of the novel is characterized in the pages of the Civil War Narrative. It is a well-tempered blend of historical record, poetic descriptions of the terrain and weather and minimal license per the thoughts and deeds of the principals.
