I've never read any Austen, either.
Oh, I've tried. But romances bore me to tears, Victorian purple-prose romances even more so. The characters often seem one-dimensional and the plots formulaic. You know what Victorian romances need? They need something with a bit of bite. Something exciting. Something to break up the plot from the monotony of teenage whining and hormone-driven angst.
They need... zombies.
( Fortunately, Seth Grahame-Smith agrees. )
Roll on Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters, that's what I say.
