I highly recommend the book "World War Z" to everyone, everywhere,
everywhen. Also, Larson.

Hmm, apparently Straczynski is doing a movie of it, though it seems like
there is too much to cover in one sitting.

Yay!

(What's a book?)

So...overblown monologues, crappy set design, and zombies with weird
hairdoes? I'm in.

I listened to the audiobook from iTunes, lots of big names did the voices

I've heard Rollins was in that. For that reason alone I may have to
give that a listen.

He was, though I don't recall the voice unless he was the bodyguard. I saw
a few of his spoken word deals on cable and know a little of his music, but
didn't put it together. I knew Alan Alda was in it before I heard him so it
was no surprise. Mark Hamil didn't stand out until I found out who he was
playing, then I couldn't shake it. Jurgen Prochnow was easy to pick out.
