Pride and Prejudice...and Zombies

[Paradoxismminant]

This book is full of win XDDD.

The writing style is quite formal, and yet it's quite hilarious.

Come on, Darcy telling "that's what she said" jokes?

Even the summary is funny.

That sounds interesting O_O.

Care to share the summary?  

[Semidis--]

Is that the one with the Photoshopped girl on it? Where she looks all half-decayed?  

[Paradoxismminant]

Yes, that one.

@Ncrypt1d, here's the summary:

Quote:

"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 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 lovers--and even more violent blood-soaked sparring on the battlefield. Can Elizabeth 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 like to read.

JANE AUSTEN is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Manfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature. SETH GRAHAME-SMITH once took a class in English literature. He lives in Los Angeles.

Long typing {wipes brow} But you see? XDDD

That IS funny...  

[Semidis--]

Ah, that one.

So it's good, huh?  

[Paradoxismminant]

lol, yes.

Quite a good one, though.

Slightly chauvinistic (the ending, especially), but I can understand in the context, I guess. neutral

 

[vita grotesk]

I have the audio book of this! I just started listening to it at work today. It's hard not to laugh out loud ^^  

[Semidis--]

I didn't know there was an audiobook...  

[vita grotesk]

I love audiobooks. I'm a big multitasker, so I like listening to them while I do other things.
(My current favorite is Stephen Fry reading Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's like comfort food for my brain.)  

[No Gambling in Paradix]

Mmm...that sounds lovely^^!

...But be sure to have fun!

 

[Paradoxismminant]

Ah, audiobooks^^!

I like those.

Well, except for this one version of Jane Austen's Persuasion. That one was terrible...

 

[thubui]

oh, i want to read that book.

How I wish I had bought it at Target instead of putting it back.
