Didn't I do that last year, too? It's all my book club, really. They keep me stocked with plenty of books.
The whole mash-up genre is pointless. Yes, it gets people to read the classics, but just read the classics then. For some reason, Pride and Prejudice just attracts weird genre mashing. I read one book where Darcy and Elizabeth are solving murders. There's another book like that, too; the BBC just dramatized it.
Started Ilium today and boy is it weird. So you have a dead scholar watching ancient history, a guy lusting after his cousin on Mars, and a robot in a sub on I want to say Saturn? I really hope it starts to make sense soon.
