This insightful information came from the Washington Post’s (book) bestseller list – specifically the non-fiction section. Webster’s dictionary defines fiction as, “something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically: an invented story.” Non-fiction would be the opposite of fiction, or something REAL. You can imagine that I was quite surprised to find “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” sitting at #4 of the non-fiction list. Jane Austen’s original novel would, I’m sure, be categorized as fiction. It is fiction because none of its abysmally boring love motifs actually happened. With the addition of zombies we finally have an accurate historical record of Austen’s 19th century events – hence the categorization of the updated novel as “non-fiction.” For those of you who find the thought of zombies discomforting or even frightening, I direct your attention to the 7th bestselling non-fiction book, “The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead.” I’m sure this guide provides many handy techniques for dealing with those pesky zombies you didn’t even know existed until now. Happy zombie hunting!
