This is something I came across today in my local store.

Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice. They’re the genuine books, with the original story.

But the cover has been redesigned as to resemble the rest of the ‘teen/young adult’ reading section, which consists of poorly written vampire based novels hanging off the fame and money Twilight is bringing in.

I have never been more disgusted with the literary world.

It is so they can lure those Twilight fanatics into reading some real literature. The publisher may be doing the world a favor.

hey, why not! the more janeites the merrier! back in the day, they should’ve lured me by putting britney spears on the covers of classics

slang gone literal

UrbanDictionary.com
2. die in a fire
A statement that shows such utter disgust, contempt, hatred, and/or loathing for a fellow human being that you wish for them to expire in an extremely painful(and one would assume spectacular and tragic) way. This is usually precipitated by someone so violating what the wisher considers basic human decency, morals, or intelligence that little other recourse is avaliable. (ahem, THAT’S YOU ROCHESTER!)
