Currently 10/20

Pages Read:
A Game of Thrones: 100 pages

Style Mapping Posts:
The Chief: The adealine injected cheering of the crowd and violent spasisms of the bull give a noisy claging sound to this excert.
Running in Circles: The Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy has a musical and elegantly figurative sound to it.
Purple Moments: The word choice is more familiar and blunt, grating and clattering, and also suggestive and imagistic.
Less Than Three: It pays no heed to the way that words sound together and has extraordinarily little figurative language.
DolphinCat: In the excerpt from Stardust the words contains a very straight-forward description of a town named Wall that has a very primitive feel with huts instead of houses and tracks instead of roads.

My favorite has to be The Cheif's use of "spasms"  and "clanging"... very unique.
