Today I read that they are repackaging Wuthering Heights with a Twilight like look and the words "Bella and Edward's Favorite Book" on the cover. http://shelf-life.ew.com/2009/09/01/twilight-wuthering-heights/
Now, I love Twilight and all but this seems the height of weirdness to me - -
#1- Uh, anyone obsessed enough to read a book just because it was in Twilight would know that the statement isn't even accurate.
#2 - I thought using fictional people to hype products was generally considered, well, fraud.
#3 - IT'S WUTHERING FREAKING HEIGHTS!!!!! Using the flavor of the month (albeit a delicious one) to advertise a classic that has been popular for over a century seems like an excellent example of how annoyingly disposable our culture can be.
Ok, sorry, rant over.
