Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sooo, P&P&Zombies. I'm about halfway through it, and have been giggling a lot. How faithful is it to the original novel? Um, I don't know. I've never read the original.

What? All I read as a child/young adult/teen was SF, fantasy, and horror. P&P was exactly the sort of book I avoided if at all possible. Yes, I promise to read the original P&P once I'm done with the zombie re-mix.

I was an English major and didn't read any Austen until I was in my mid-30s.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I was an English major and didn't read any Austen until I was in my mid-30s.
English was my undergraduate degree, too, and I have read exactly two Austen novels. By the second, I'd worked out that they were all the same, and I was done.
Thomas Hardy and the Brontes (mostly Emily) I could read forever.

Because books.
I hadn't read any Austen till college, and even then I've only ever made it through Emma, which I do love, and most of of Pride and Prejudice. I love her stories and characters, but her style is just too dated for me.

Joins Dana in the hissing and throwing, which I did do to Tess. God, that girl's whining got to be waaay too much for me--I just wanted to smack her and say, "Get over it!"
Of course, I feel the same way when I have to watch Gone with the Wind--Scarlett drives me bonkers.

Thomas Hardy deserves something stronger than tomatoes.

Maybe the giant HRI (hotel, restaurant and institution) size.
