[Hobgoblin]

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Jane Austen and Seth Grahame Smith

How was it? When I first heard of it, I had to roll my eyes. Now I've been reading Unholy Night by S.G. Smith and I've enjoyed it. Here is its trailer.




I also picked up a library book of Scandinavian folkore and legends. My background is Norwegian so its been interesting in that regard, even if the stories do depend on characters being incredibly stupid.

 

[Xeno-noesis]

Ok, regarding this thread, would it be more efficient and simpler to edit and update a single post? In essence a "sticky" post for each user. This thread is becoming excessive with entire lists being re-posted just to add a single book. Doesn't that seem silly?
