Pop Culture meets Classic Literature
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is still sitting on the NY Times bestseller list (currently at #5). I worry about what the popularity of this book will do to the book industry. In particular, I think that this book will spawn a number or “me too” books similar to what happened after The Da Vinci Code and every book seemed to be about a hidden code.
To beat people to the punch, I have come up with some ideas:
First, Pirates make everything better.
The Old Man and the Sea and Pirates would be the perfect pop culture/classic literature crossover. I haven’t read The Old Man and the Sea but judging from the title it’s about an old man and the sea. I imagine that the the old man could run in to pirates while on the sea and, I dunno, join them while learning valuable life lessons.
Second, Ninjas make an excellient additions to novels.
Again, haven’t read War and Peace. But War and Peace and Ninjas could depic the invasion of Russia by France who hire a ninja army who get fought off by the Russians while learning valuable life lessons.
Yes, this may be a good idea.

I would totally read The Old Man and The Sea and Pirates!!! Another entry could be Of Mice and Men and Nazi Women from Outer Space!!!

Hillarious!
And adding pirates to Old Man and the Sea would really be an improvement.
