An Angry Octopus Eating Iridescent Strawberries

Begrudgingly resides in lower Tennessee (US). Suffers from weird computer OCD, caffeine addiction (particularly Dr. Pepper), sleep deprivation, fandom ADD, some sort of dyslexia, laziness, hunger, madness, and severe round-about cases of writers/artist-block. A lover of bromance and meat. Has a thesaurus lodged in her throat.

megalin15: sincerelyshaina: fuckyeahprideandprejudice: estelhope: katiekatielupo: Remind you of anything? I cannot tell you how much it depressed me to see such beautiful classics remodelled to attract the “Twilight obsessed” youth. NO NO NO NO NO. NO. “The love that started it all” and “LOVE IS BLIND” WHAT. THIS NONSENSE CANNOT EXIST. Jane Austen is tossing and turning in her grave right now. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DIE. THIS IS AWFUL what the fuck is this nonsense?! GUYS! If it draws people’s eyes and gets those who wouldn’t normally be interested in these books to give them a try anyway…isn’t that a good thing? I’m sort of torn about this.  Agreeing that if it gets people to pick up the book, mission pretty much accomplished; but I’m also cringing at the buckling under Twilight’s appeal (whatever it is).  These books are old and have already done their job of pulling people in all on their own, I don’t think they need popular imaging to sell a book that is great just by being on the shelf.
