I’m sorry, I still get a huge chuckle out of that line. I might just have to type it up and hang in in my office at work.

Well, OK, it’s not really all that much like Trollope–except in the sense that) it’s long, and you need to be willing to surrender your patience and take the book at its own speed.

Actually, that also applies to Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, both of which have a certain amount of sex and violence but also lack walking corpses.

Insightful as always, Will. Now I know why I couldn’t get into Trollope!

Thanks.

Will,
I think that the last line of this post is possibly the funniest thing I’ve read of yours–Anthony Trollope, sex, violence and walking corpses?????
