Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
I recommended this book to my Warcraft guild. My friend Julie then had this experience at a bookstore:
Julie: Umm, do you happen to have a book that’s, like, Pride and Prejudice, but with zombies in it?
Clerk: ………………uh, what?
Julie: Pride and Prejudice, but like, with zombies. I heard someone wrote it.
Clerk: Have you ever read Pride and Prejudice?
Julie: Nope.
Clerk: Do you even know what Pride and Prejudice is!?
Julie: Yeah, isn’t it like, a love story or something?
Clerk: ……… Zombies? …………
Julie: Yeah.
Clerk: I’m fairly certain there were no zombies in Pride and Prejudice.
Julie: No, I heard someone re-wrote the story, but with zombies in it. It’s a new book.
Clerk: And how did you hear about this “new book?”
Julie: The internet. Someone linked it in the forums. You can buy it on Amazon, I swear!
Clerk: ………….I don’t think we have that, but, uh, I could look it up for you.
Julie: Thanks! ^_^
Clerk: *typing in search field* “Pride and Prejudice. *tilts head, incredulous look* “…and Zombies.”
Julie: *hums while waiting*
Clerk: Well. “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”
Julie: So I’m not crazy?
Clerk: Apparently not!
Julie: Yay!
Clerk: We don’t have any in stock, but I can order it in for you.
Julie: Sweet!
Clerk: I just need your name/number so I can let you know when it’s in. That’ll be $17.
Julie: M’kay! *pays*
Clerk: Make sure to hold on to your receipt. But… it’s not like you’ll need it. I doubt I’ll forget you. *shaking head in confusion*
