As I write this article, I find myself sitting at a Burger King in Port St. Joe, Fla, a 30-minute drive from our beach house for the week.

After six days with perfect wi-fi connection, the day I choose to write it stops working. Which is how one of my brothers and I set off on an adventure to find a nearby wireless hub. Sound like anyone else's luck?

But now I laugh. The entire week, I have been on vacation at the beach. I have also been incredibly content. Sitting in the waves and the sand, getting tanner by the minute, and reading a good book, I couldn't imagine anything better than this. And considering I've been waiting for months to finish "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," I was super excited. Now, I can say that I have, and it was amazing.

To anyone who knows me, I am a total book addict. Set me in a bookstore, and I can probably live happily forever. Ever since I was little, I have loved books more than myself. As I've grown, my passion has only grown, and I couldn't imagine being this excited about anything else. Many would probably expect me to regale you with tales of all the classics, from "Moby Dick," and "Great Expectations," to "War and Peace," but I can't. In fact, normally the only classics I read are those that I'm assigned in class. I don't say that to mean I feel like they're boring or that I find myself superior, I say that to mean my favorites are just different. Personally, I think that's OK.

When the movie for "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" graced the screen on Valentine's Day earlier this year, I immediately wanted to see it. Daring woman in full dresses killing zombies? Where can I sign up? However, in my family we have a rule -- no watching movies if they've been based on a book until you've read it. So I quickly found myself a copy.

Upon opening the book, I made an awesome discovery. Majorly the original story as told by Jane Austen, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" was rewritten in parts to incorporate the undead. Suddenly, the nineteenth century characters of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy were chopping off heads with Katana blades. For, "it is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." Genius, right?

I chose to read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" before I read "Pride and Prejudice" because -- in short -- that's who I am. I choose to eat ice cream with a fork. I can't go into Hobby Lobby without buying a whole cart full of unnecessary crafty things. I can't drive without the radio being on. I normally only eat the red Skittles. I have my weird quirks, and I embrace them. I'm headstrong, I'm confident, and sometimes my opinions get the better of me. Plus, if I don't get enough sleep, I also act like a zombie. The comparisons speak for themselves.
