Sense, Sensibility, and Sea Monsters

There's a pretty big chance that I get way too much enjoyment out of these. It's not as good as the Pride and Prejudice one, but really, zombies are more entertaining than sea monsters. Mansfield Park and Mummies is up next.

Human Smoke. It's as fascinating as it is depressing.

Did I recommend that to you? I think I recommend it to everybody.

Anyway, I'm reading America's greatest poet:

Loving it and can't believe it's taken me so long to read it.

Not finished it yet but Atticus Finch is a TANK!

HG Wells' 'War of the Worlds'.

It's incredible because you can actually picture it, every little detail. Classic.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're the one who recommended it, but you've ruined my image as FDR as a peace-loving cripple and Churchill as a cartoon bulldog.

Nice try, Joker, but I doubt you can read at all. If it wasn't for the fact you're managing to dictate your posts to a friend and have him read the responses back to you, you wouldn't have anyone on here fooled.
This is just brilliant.

So, after far too much steampunk I've gone back to these. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is surprisingly quite fantastic. Not nearly as silly as I would have expected. Alice in Zombieland was terrible and Android Karenina comes out in two weeks and sounds promising. I'm thinking of taking on science fiction next, but haven't found a starting point. I've got The Left Hand of Darkness and Necromancer on the bookshelf untouched, but haven't made it around to it yet. Any suggestions would be more than welcome.

A Canticle for Leibowitz. Probably botched the spelling, but there you go. I Am Legend, too.

Thanks. I Am Legend is going to have to wait until I can get the Will Smith movie out of my head. The other I just reserved. The name's familiar I think I read a short story of his with robot actors in high school.

Currently reading Zadie Smith's White Teeth, which is pretty awesome.

I do believe I've just read one of the worst books ever and thus hilarious. To best express this I give you this quote “Fucking her ass. Saving her life.” Which was used in a totally earnest manner. How that hasn't been used in an action movie yet is beyond me.

No it isn't.
Care to discuss? I'm probably not as primed on contemporary British lit as you are, and the last 100 pages or so were brutally disappointing, but I was pretty well entertained the rest of the way.

I've also read the graphic novel about the Beats (it sucked), and am going through all the issues of Tom Strong (which is awesome).
