Devon How many p&p adaptations can one read before one's head explodes? Asking for a friend

Devon Eh, i guess okay to start on 206th anniversary of publication friend says


Jess Manners Ha, I’m my defense, these are all for my class—tangentially, at least. Students read them and wrote about them, so I need to know what’s up!

Devon so if someone theoretically wrote about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, would you read it (L O L)/ would they get a B outright? (and B ofc, bc do any grades below that exist in le département d'Anglais?)


Jess Manners Ha, I basically banned it. Longbourn is gooooood, though! (I gave a few Cs this semester!)

Devon scandalous!
It does look quite good from the description. If I ever have time to read, (which I won't) perhaps I'll check it out from the library.

Of all the P&P adaptations you've read, which one have you liked the most / which one is the best (can be two different answers or le même)


Jess Manners Hmm...I think the order would have to be, roughly: Longbourn (so far), Bridget Jones, Pride, Eligible, and then trailing far behind in the distance, Austenland. Are there others I’ve read? I can’t think of any at the moment...
