Dude, this is going to be FUN

Meanwhile, in the land of other people's words, I have finally acquired two books I've been ardently awaiting! First and foremost, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which I discovered was all over the place at Barnes and Noble this evening. Very, very much looking forward to reading this, especially after chortling over the back cover copy:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.

Not to mention this:

Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

And for an entirely different flavor of awesome, y'all remember that anthology I posted about a while back, the one to benefit s00j in her time of medical hardship? I am delighted to have finally gotten mine in the mail. It is gorgeous and chock full of a lot of high-caliber names on the Table of Contents.

Reading both of these is going to be pleasure indeed. Total books bought so far in 2009: 16!

I forget why it is you're keeping track of the number of books purchased this year...?

Just out of general interest and curiosity! I want to get an idea of how many books I tend to buy vs. how many I read in any given year.
