sense & sensibility & sea monsters

I am up to Chapter 5 in Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters.

I am letting you know (as promised) that at least so far It Does Not Suck, and I am not regretting spending money on buying the book.

The next one’s going to have to be about vampires, though, and not use Jane Austen.

Allow me to horrify all of you regarding Jane Eyre.

While I certainly agree that Jane Eyre is a great novel; but what it really needs is…

Well, it simply needs to be recast in a setting that’s had an unsuccessful alien invasion: one where the invaders attempted to create various kinds of psionic mutations in the captive human population. Jane can be a precognitive; Rochester could be some sort of former Man In Black with a mad pyrokinetic in his attic; and I guess that Rivers would be a telepathic mesmerist and secret agent of the last few aliens hiding out on Earth.

Hey, they put zombies into Pride & Prejudice, and the result’s been on the best seller list for months. And now they’re going to do Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters – no, really:

…so don’t tell me that wouldn’t sell.
