Today I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As my first exposure to Jane Austen's novels, I fear I must admit I was glad of the zombies. (I know, blasphemy!)

If only because of lines like:

In her kind schemes for Elizabeth, [Charlotte] sometimes planned her marrying Colonel Fitzwilliam. He was beyond comparison the most pleasant man; he certainly admired her, and his situation in life was most eligible; but, to counterbalance these advantages, Mr. Darcy had a considerably larger head, and thus, more brains to feast upon.

OMG I must read this. I'm just waffling over whether to buy it.

(And just from flipping through, yes, it is greatly improved by the zombies.)

If it helps in your decision, the book smells really good. Better than most books even. (For the record, I do not too often sniff books, but for this one there can be an exception.) You would think it would be the *opposite*, but.
