Pittsburgh is The Road!

[Daniel Harper]

_The Road_ I can take or leave. The movie'll probably be better than the
book. Meh.

Personally, I can't wait to get a look at _World War Z_, based on the novel
by Max Brooks. It may not be "serious" literature, but there's more great
stuff going on in that novel than in pretty much anything else of that
length I've read in a long long time.
