I knew I didn't like zombies. A truth universally acknowledged when I got through a whopping two chapters of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies before throwing it down and shouting, "I hate zombies!" I can't really trace my zombie hate back to any particular incidence (the way I can trace my werewolf hate back to having to read New Moon), but it's safe to say the side-by-side reading of classic and quirk is not going to happen.
I did, however, finish my five chapters of the original Pride and Prejudice. It's really too soon for me to make any sort of judgement or even witty commentary, but what I can say is that my favorite character, by far, is Mrs. Bennet. She's so haughty, I love it. And her relationship with her husband brings a lot of humor to the story. I truly look forward to continuing on with the book and can't wait for the romance to really start.
Completely aside, I have added two more books to the "Required Reading" list. One was summer reading that I never did, The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. The second was the mysteriously forgotten senior year book that I could not for the life of me remember not reading: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Why the school decided to replace it with Beowulf is absolutely beyond me.
