So lately I have been reading as much as possible. And I have to say that although I have new authors I love, the classics will always be my favorites. Such as "Jane Eyre", "Pride and Prejudice", "Persuasion", and "Sense and Sensibility" to name a few. (Yes I am aware that I love Jane Austen.)
The other day I was browsing the Barnes and Noble website and found some books for my Nook. The titles were interesting enough to peek my interest. Such as "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" I mean COME ON!! Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth and Zombies!!! How could that not sound good to read!! So I bought it! And I laughed so hard!!! Pat read it after me, and he said that in the parts that it was Jane Austen's words or part of the story he was bored silly. Where as I love the book so I wasn't. In essence, the book that I bought was Jane Austen's work with Seth Grahame-Smith adding in zombies.
I mean the first sentence went from: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." (and yes I remembered that from my memory I have read it that many times.)
To: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be want of more brains." (I had to look this one up.)
How can you not buy that book!!
So I started to look around, and although I want "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" I haven't gotten it yet. But I did just get "Little Vampire Women" and another version of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" that is written by another guy and is mostly his work based loosely off Ms. Austen's novel. And my dad recently gave me "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" which I haven't read yet but I am going to. It's by the same Seth guy. Who incidentally is going to write Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" starring another of my fav's, Johnny Depp.
And some more fun facts, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is going to be made into a movie!! That I really want to see, though the book was full of blood and guts so I am sure that the movie will be too. I just hope they don't make it a 'serious' movie like the original movies are.
While looking for the covers of these books I found one titled "Jane Slayer"!!!! I so HAVE TO HAVE that book!!! I just hope it's as good!!
I'll have to let you all know after I finish them all how they were. But I am going into these with a 'that's completely ridiculous' attitude and so I am sure that I will enjoy them immensely.
