Does reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies make me less or more intelligent?
One could argue either way. On the one hand I am well read enough to fully enjoy the satire of the rewrite because I catch all of the references to the original. On the other hand the book could be deemed an abomination of the original and one's enjoyment of such a mockery could thus deem him or her as foolish.
I think to rewrite an Austen classic with the inclusion of zombies and have your story actually make it into bookstores is a challenging task that only an intelligent and witty person could accomplish. It's very clever and I'm enjoying it even if that makes me part of an abomination.
