I kinda want this

I have a feeling it would make Pride and Prejudice a more interesting read. Since it would address my major complaints about it. Those being:

1. Most of the female characters annoy me because all they care about is landing a man. Which would be remedied with zombies!

2. Large chunks of the book tend to involve NOTHING HAPPENING. Zombies would definitely liven that up. :p

Plus... Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. What's not to love? :p

Ouch... I can see where that would have totally been salt in the wound.

Too bad they didn't have the zombified version back then ;)

It basically meant I had NO patience for the book. Zombies would have really helped. :p

I'm now envisioning a whole line of books made better by random zombie attacks, vampire attacks, etc. Wow, that would have made high school much more bearable!

It's almost as good as the list of books that would be improved by bipping!

OK, I feel like I'm totally up and up on my slang, etc., but I must admit, I've never heard of "bipping." I Googled it and didn't really come up with a satisfactory result :-P

Nah, it just means you haven't been on my flist long enough. :p Bipping is the act of throwing something at a whiny protaganist when he's being a whiny protaganist. Originating in Sandman #8, The Sound of Her Wings, in which Death throws a loaf of bread at Dream and it goes "Bip!". :p

Ah, got ya... I love it! And I immediately started to think of lots of books with whiny protagonists, and how much better they'd be with more bipping :-P

[yubsie]

There's an awful lot of them. Bipping works wonders. Like letting the author get AWAY with a whiny protaganist because they've ACKNOWLEDGED the whininess. :p (This is why I love Death :p)
