"I haven't any right to criticise books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read 'Pride and Prejudice' I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.' - Mark Twain

I wonder what Mark Twain would've thought of this book.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

Heh. Zombies, lol?

Sounds like he would have thought anything was better. I don't know how much he would have been into it though...he really didn't like one of my other favorite authors, E.A. Poe, either. But that might have more on stylistic grounds than subject matter. I know Wuthering Heights would have been more interesting if it was about zombies. What am the hell am I talkin' about? It basically was about zombies...

You mean, it hasn't yet?

user-pic

His brain has exploded already, you're right. I would like to see his head explode a la Scanners. Paging David Cronenberg!!!

Insanity (part 5): Steve King (R-IA)

For those not familiar with this particular Republican idiot, here are some of his earlier 'thoughts':

He called Joe McCarthy a "great American hero".

“Well, by now, I have a feel for the rhythm of this place called Washington, D.C., and my wife lives here with me. I can tell you, she is in far greater risk being a civilian in Washington, D.C., than the average civilian in Iraq.” [said on the floor on the US House, summer 2006.]

“Can you imagine if John Kerry had been president during WWII? We’d all be speaking Japanese and German right now!”

“I’ll just say this, that when you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected president of the United States — and I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam? And I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the … the radical Islamists, the … the al-Qaeda and the radical Islamists and their supporters will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11.”

What has he said something lately that I may have missed, Libertine?

user-pic

Nawwwwww...nothing new. Just a cumulative effort on his part, along the lines of what you cite. The man has been driven insane by hate...all of that hate in the name of 'Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior'.
