Pride, Prejudice, Polygamy and... zombies.

[fictional]

It's no secret to anyone who's talked to me for more than ten minutes about books, but just in case there's anyone of you to whom that doesn't apply, in my opinion Pride and Prejudice may be the most perfectly structured novel ever written. I think it is shocking in its sheer, staggering brilliance. And snark.

The P&P industry's taken a new turn though... and I gotta say, I can't wait!

Because you know what? Zombies make everything better!!

No joke: this is Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth... battle the undead!

And get a load of this: just green-lit, Pride and Predator: i.e. P&P meets TORCHWOOD.

Who's coming with me when this shit hits the screen???

Also found on the intertubes today: thoughts on polygamy from MsNBC. What do y'all make of that?

I so need that book! The cover art sends me into fits of gigglesnorting.

I read the MSNBC article earlier today. As these things go, I thought it was pretty good--not sensationalistic or overdone, and the author comes off as a reasonable person with multiple relationships instead of someone proselytizing for her lifestyle. Too many mainstream articles on polyamory seem to almost purposefully miss important points about the subject and end up flogging the weirdness.

I know, the cover art is the best, isn't it???

I guess the thing of it is with the poly article, I am all for it. And the reception/acceptance and what have you. But the thing that irritates me is the tendency to neaten things which aren't neat... like relationships, all of which I've ever encountered are messy and complicated -- whether between two, three or ten.

Well yeah, but try to find a one-page online article on a subject of similar complexity that does any better. Mainstream Web site + word count limit = KISS. My main issue with the article is that it comes off as a neatly middle class, we're-just-like-other-folks-except-there's-more-of-us apologia. I've seen far too much of that in LGBT politics, thankyouverymuch.
