Dude. Can you just...you know...pre-read everything ever and annotate it please?? It would redeem the name of literature, and possibly stop certain ex-English majors from setting Certain Christmas Presents on fire while they read them. Holy man.

Lol, glad to be of service!

It would redeem the name of literature

A world with Regina Jeffers in it is not safe for literature.

and possibly stop certain ex-English majors from setting Certain Christmas Presents on fire while they read them. Holy man.

Not while you read them! Wait until after! You'll burn your fingers! Isn't it just TERRIBLE?

Speaking of which, did you read the "bonus materials" in that horrendous copy of P&P you sent me? It almost burnt out my retinas. (But hooray for sea monsters!!)

Psst go watch Emma and all will be improved. : D

No. No it's not.

I'll keep the burninating to a minimum for now, but...wow.

Oh yes. They're one of the reasons I sent it to you. Apologies for your retinas, though. I just sort of giggled uncontrollably and then threw it across the room. And then sent it to you. What is it with mailing one another horrible grave-turning attempts at literature and criticism in the guise of Christmas presents?

Tee hee squish.

Emma'd!! Must go watch now...

The world needs you to write Cliff's Notes.

and one sequel WHERE DARCY GETS AMNESIA AND THEY HAVE TO FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN.

I think this is proof our universe has been hacked.

Kids could TOTALLY pass a test on Jeffers' terribleness with my help!

I think this is proof our universe has been hacked.

If not ours, definitely Austen's. Poor, poor Austen. It's like Jeffers wrote on Austen's website's front page banner with MS Paint.

Unfortunately I don't have time to comment on all the awesome things you wrote in this post, but I just have to comment that
"pull" makes me think "athletic injury,"[2] not "sexy tiems!"
totally made me lol.

I'm glad we share the same disgust toward romance novels :)

rowdycamels February 25 2010, 18:22:23 UTC

Romance novels are bad enough themselves, but this one had to go and drag a real novel down with it!
