Hmm Not sure what my favourite quote but I have frightened people by being able to recite the opening paragraph

[sprite]

i keep meaning to read the zombie version.

saw a fun 'character quiz' on FB, and was disappointed to come out as charlotte.

I saw that Sprite - I didn't do it in case I came out as Mary or Mr Collins.
I've actually known someone exactly like Mary - you can imagine how much fun she was

[sprite]

someone wrote a sequel which i read a couple of years ago, from the view of Mary. who ends up caring for her mother after the father dies, and spends a lot of time reading a variety of books and actually ends up as a pleasant person.

it is a good book, but very modern. some of the events/interactions wouldn't have likely happened at taht time, but it is more or less true to the spirit. i cannot remember the name. it wasn't as good as P&P, but it was a nice light read.

I've got a book about Mary post P&P by Colleen McCulloch that I haven't got around to reading it yet

[sprite]

that one. a fun story, despite my copy missing about 50 pages in the middle.

I posted about a couple of interesting offshoot books a friend lent me on the old WT book thread. One was about all the characters with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
If anyone is interested, I can post the title and author.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was hysterical.

The prequel was cute but ehh

The 3rd book was stupid.

Ozzie - I'm curious about that book. What is it called?

I think my favorite quote may be Mr Bennet telling Mary at the piano "You have delighted us long enough."
