I don't mind nothing happening in a book, but nothing happening in a phony way–characters saying things people never say, doing jobs that don't fit, the whole works–is simply asking too much of a reader. Something happening in a phony way must beat nothing happening in a phony way every time, right? I mean, you could prove that, mathematically, in an equation, and you can't often apply science to literature.
