Classics with a twist

LDfqnD6y1q0r9x6gBlwD8nmfo1_400 1247599508sea_monsters_72dpi

I’ve been looking forward to sinking my teeth into these two books for a while now (subtle zombie reference there) published by the wonderfully quirky people at Quirk books, and after just finishing “How To Be Idle” by idler extraordinaire Tom Hodgkinson, today I’ve launched into “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”. Excellent Sunday reading, and you’ve just gotta love that cover art!

P.S. For all those zombie fans out there you can download a picture here to print out and frame from Quirk of Elizabeth karate kicking a zombie in the head…

“Elizabeth lifted her skirt, disregarding modesty, and delivered a swift kick to the creature’s head”.

Haha, love it!
