What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things.
It was this weird confrontation of these two delicious flavors that got me consciously or subconsciously combining Lincoln and vampires as an observational in-joke with myself.
'Pride and Prejudice' - perhaps more than any other Jane Austen book - is engrained in our literary consciousness.
I'm a big, bombastic novelist and thrill-ride guy. I'm never going to win the National Book Award.
So I suggest you stick close, pay attention, and avoid breaking the Terrorverse's only commandment: Thou shall not be stupid.
Her only fault is that she lacks sense enough to avoid falling in love with such a fool as I!
Your quarrel is with God. I merely wish to offer Him the opportunity to judge you.
