And you won't know much more about confederate generals after you finish
validating this book, but you will have experienced stream-of-consciousness
writing from one of the best. I think it came out later in his life that
Brautigan was schizophrenic which helps to explain some of his writings.
<smile> I can't say that I really "like" his work, but I'm glad that I'm
familiar with it.
Let me know if anything needs work.

Well, I almost took this book the first time it was up and I've gotten a
couple others out of the way while it was on hiatus, so now that it is
back, I've grabbed it. I don't know much about Confederate Generals, but
I live in Monterey, not too far from Big Sur.
