Currently I have no user pic. This is because I haven't taken it yet. I will soon. I promise.
The next book I will be reviewing is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Yes, you read that correctly. It's written by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. It's 75% Austen (or so friend told me she read in the newspaper) and 25% Zombie awesomeness. I have not read the original P & P, so after finishing P & P & Z I quizzed my brother's gf Salad about it, since she apparently read and really enjoyed the original. Needless to say, most of the good parts I asked her about never occurred in the original. That sucks. So, for the sake of saving time (I have like 50 books I want to read right now) I rented the P & P movie starring Kiera Knightly (or it could be Natalie Portman, they are pretty much one and the same person to me) in order to do a comparison in the review. I will be watching that tonight, so hopefully I can get a review up by mid-next week.
Also, I wanted to read the classics this summer, just because I've finally finished my grad degree and have some free time, so why not, BUT newer more interesting books keep popping up at work (I work in a library) and I want to read those. I am currently reading Wuthering Heights. I literally had to print out a family tree from the internet in order to keep track of the characters, but after I made it past that little bump in the road the reading isn't that bad. More on that later though.
