athenaltenaBesides NaNo, I've also been reading The Killer Angels for part of my Civil War class. That book actually inspired me to change one character in my story from an infantry officer to cavalry, and though my concept of the character has pretty much stayed the same besides that there are now elements of John Buford in there.
The Killer Angels is, by the way, an excellent book, and I can see why it's been praised as one of the best pieces of Civil War literature period. It has that quality of just scanning really well, and I've read over a hundred pages of it in one day without feeling like I've been forcing it. That's what I call good writing.
