I'm re-reading Pride and Prejudice, because I like Jane Austin.

Lis is reading Pride and Prejudice to get a deeper understanding of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Actually, the first line of P&P&Z is, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

This made me smile.

Oddly enough, I just heard about the P&P&Z book within the past week. Perhaps I shall have to read the two books as well.

I read Jane Eyre for the first time because of The Eyre Affair :) (BTW, I'm sure it is impossible that Lis is not already very familiar with Jasper Fforde, but if she's not, you should introduce her posthaste.)
