Books of Literary Merit

Here are some books I might actually read purely based on the cover. Yes {I am this pathetic}, after being burnt-out from rigorous “advanced” English classes from middle school through high school {curse you Camus!} and all 5 English Lit classes in college {curse you Joyce!}, this is now what piques my interest in reading books. {Brain don’t fail me now!}

Classic with a Twist:
Pride & Prejudice + Zombies

pride_prejudice_zombies{And I’m not even a Twilight/Evil Dead fanatic either.}

Eco-friendly stunner:
Worldchanging: A User’s Guide to the 21st Century

worldchanging_a_users_guide{Pretty bird, pretty bird…}

Quirky memoirs:
When You Are Engulfed in Flames

when_you_are_engulfed_in_flames{Um, starting to notice a theme here…}

And if these books end up being mindblowingly dull, then at least they’ll look good on my bookcase shelves, right?

    How’s P&P&Z? It’s on my list. (Yes, I have a list.)

    According to my sister, “it’s just like P&P [a book I have NOT read because I choose to read things that only resemble books of any value].” {Love you Sarah!} But no, it’s still on my “to-do” list, competing with Curb Your Enthusiasm {any season} for my attention.

    Hilarious demi-tangent:
    The Dakota Fanning Show (SNL) — start watching at the 1:00 minute mark. {http://www.hulu.com/watch/19305/saturday-night-live-the-dakota-fanning-show}
