Classic reads

Heading to the cottage this weekend and looking for something to read?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to read the classics I’ve never gotten around to reading – think Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare — so I’m kind of excited about the new 100 Classic Books, which includes such novels as Pride and Prejudice to be read on any of the Nintendo DS systems.

(now if only the DS could emit that musty weathered book smell — I kinda like that scent, it’s oddly comforting…)

    I find an irony in the whole thing. Classics on your Nintendo DS…I wonder what Dicken’s is doing in his grave right now.
