Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if I've moved to the court of a Roman emperor.

Crime and violence, I believe. What are you reading?

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

Sounds far more interesting than this. I am reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

[xp-northstar.livejournal.com]

I fell asleep three times before giving up on that book.

It is pretty boring, I will admit.

[xp-northstar.livejournal.com]

There is a version with zombies that is not so boring but terrible for other reasons.

... zombies? What?

[xp-northstar.livejournal.com]

Oui. Zombies. There is a ball with dancing and then there are swords and zombies and then they go home.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

That would at least make the story more interesting.

[xp-northstar.livejournal.com]

It did, certainly. If nothing else, you must admire the zombie author's mimicry of Austen's dry style.

I will let you know how I find it, once I have read it.

I am so -so- SO sorry. I mean like, I know not my fault, but man, Jane Austen is the instant cure for insomnia.

Zombies make everything better!

Except when they don't.

She is included on many lists on the internet of authors to read, so I thought I should try her.

Would you have any suggestions about who would be good to read?
