"according to the book's Twitter and io9"
umm... I admit to being a bit of a left-behind here, since I don't use twitter or facebook, but inanimate objects have twitter? What exactly is there for a book to tweet about?
12:05 - Sitting on the bookshelf
12:45 - Still on the shelf
1:30 - continuing to occupy space on the shelf
1:55 - Tried to start a conversation with World War Z.
1:57 - Sick of listening to World War Z moan about braaains.

You know, if only they taught books like this in high school English. I certainly would have fallen asleep a lot less.

I heard at my comic shop, that it is getting a graphic novel version as well.

I'm not a big fan of the zombie phenomenon, but if makes people appreciate the classics, more power to them.

How did I not know of this?

I hated the original book. Would like to see this new series.

Still think a movie might be better, but then lots of content would have to be cut. If it's on HBO or Showtime where they can go crazy with the zombie gore fun...WIN.

They should try to cast actors who have actually been in straight adaptations of Pride & Prejudice-- I'd especially like the recent movie cast, except with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy instead of whoever that other guy was.

Imagine Keira Knightley reprising her role and kicking zombie butt. That's what I pictured when I read the book, anyway...

I'd heard they were going movie with this. But I guess a mini-series would work better.

I've got the book on hold from my library so I guess I picked a good time to see what all the fuss is about.

I just nerd-gasmed so hard I need to go change my pants and I'm a woman.

I hate that I didn't think of this first.
