How to Differ from Popular Opinion

August 24, 2020 by Scott Meyer

I forget what book about zombies Missy had read. I’m certain it was not Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

The reason I’m certain of this is that Missy and I have entertained ourselves during this quarantine by binge-watching the 1995 BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice with Collin Firth, then followed it with the 2005 movie with Kiera Knightly.

Both were enjoyable, but very different, with the miniseries employing a more broadly comic approach and the movie having much higher production values.

The message of Pride and Prejudice seems to be that even a socially awkward, emotionally remote man can find love, as long as he’s very good looking and fabulously wealthy.

Note from Missy: Yeah, it definitely wasn’t P&P&Z, because until we watched the miniseries, I’d never experienced Pride and Prejudice. (Though I did read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter!) For the life of me, I can’t figure out what book this would have been, lo these 7 long years ago.

As always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).
