God, it's infuriating, isn't it?  I mean, The Sting?  You absolutey HATE The Sting?  Just . . . ugh. 

Yeah, it must be tough to figure out what the zombies in World War Z should move and sound like.  If only they had a fully realized, detailed, extremely descriptive novel touching on these issues, or a 500-page faux-guidebook specifically written to agonize over exactly this kind of detail - you know, like a Zombie…

Look forward to those ASoIaF books, they're really great.  Good luck wrapping up your thesis.

I hear you.  I guess I just wanted to make the DT books last a little.  But to each his own.

Fair enough.  Not to insult either the HP or the HG books, neither of which have I read, but maybe it's also because those books aren't typically being read for their literary style, or to appreciate much in the way of nuance, atmosphere, etc., but more just to find out what happens in the plot.  If you're reading…
