Funny but a little sad

I just thought I'd share a quick story. Monday I as at Barnes and Noble. A guy and girl who looked like they were in high school walked up to the Twilight table and picked a book. The guy looked up at the girl and said, "Wuthering Heights, isn't this the last book in the Twilight series." I know what your thinking. He did NOT just ask that! He did. However, the girl clarified for him. She said, "No, the last Twilight book is Breaking Dawn. Wuthering Heights is one of those old books, it's like a classic or something." What is the world coming to???

Although this is a little sad and a little funny, they aren't entirely at fault. They should know that Wuthering Heights is in fact classic literature and the author's name on it was Emily Bronte instead of Stephanie Meyer. However, it was on the Twilight table and someone has decided to capitalize on the success of Twilight. For those who haven't ever seen a Twilight book, here are the covers of each book in the series:

and here is how someone has decided to resale Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet:




Now if you know me, you know I like Twilight as much as the next person, but Pride and Prejudice doesn't need Twilight. It can stand on it's own two feet, thank you.
