<p>Sure <strong>Stephen Fry</strong> is an accomplished <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000410/" target="_blank">actor</a> (you might know him from <em>Blackadder, Bones</em> or most recently as The Cheshire Cat in <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>) comedian, journalist (he wrote this recent piece on <a href="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1976935,00.html" target="_blank">Steve Jobs for Time magazine</a>) and author but we here at <em>Neonpunch.com</em> know him as the leading tech geek from the UK (he has his own<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/uk/app/frypaper/id374277542?mt=8" target="_blank"> iPad app called Fry Paper</a>) and are one of the 1.6 million+ Twitter followers of <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/stephenfry" target="_blank">@stephenfry</a></strong>. </p>
<p>And now for the first time, Mr. Fry will be in Hong Kong later this month to promote his new book via his good friend <strong>Sir David Tang.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-9101"></span></p>
<p>Mr. Fry is one of a group of internationally celebrated authors taking part in the 21st edition of the <strong>HKTDC Hong Kong Book Fair</strong> at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The 21-27 July fair &#8211; the world&#8217;s largest Chinese-language event in terms of visitor numbers &#8211; will expand its English-language offering this year, and if you&#8217;ve ever been you&#8217;ll its the biggest and craziest public show in Hong Kong &#8211; yes, we said the book fair is the craziest show in town! You have got to <a href="http://hkbookfair.hktdc.com/en/index.aspx" target="_blank">see it to believe it.</a></p>
<p>Mr. Fry, who will join fellow authors <strong>Frederick Forsyth</strong> and <strong>Andrew Roberts</strong> at the forums moderated by Sir David, also said he hopes to read excerpts from his upcoming memoirs, which cover his Cambridge University years, when he met his long-time friend and collaborator actress Emma Thompson. The book is due to be released in September. <a href="http://tpwebapp.hktdc.com/fair/se_utf/seminar.asp?code=BK&amp;ver=10&amp;lang=eng&amp;years=2010" target="_blank">For registration please click here.</a></p>
<p>And yes, we have contacted Mr. Fry&#8217;s team to try and arrange an interview to talk about tech, eBooks, iPads and Twitter and even potentially an in-person meet-up, so stay tuned to see if that happens.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s go analogue for a minute for some zombie-love!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3348" title="prideprejudicezombies1" src="http://www.neonpunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/prideprejudicezombies1.jpg" alt="prideprejudicezombies1 Pride and Prejudice and Zombies...of course!" width="350" height="543" /></p>
<p>Taking it back old-school with an actual paper book, we thought this was fun enough to bring to your attention: <strong>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies</strong>. Yes, its the <strong>Jane Austen</strong> classic but modified to include zombies. Yes, zombies and we haven&#8217;t had enough zombie action here on Neonpunch:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton-and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers-and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead.</em></p>
<p><em>Jane Austen is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature.</em></p>
<p><em>Seth Grahame-Smith is the author of How to Survive a Horror Movie and The Big Book of Porn. He lives in Los Angeles.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>If you are looking for something to read, you&#8217;d be hard pressed to find such an unique mix of classic literature and pulse-pounding zombie action. Its only <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594744513?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=starwarscust-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1594744513" target="_blank">US$17 now on Amazon</a>. You can even <a href="http://irreference.com/pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies-chapters-1-3/" target="_blank">download the first 3 chapters here</a> and to see some of the bone-crunching action <a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2009/06/pride-and-prejudice-and-zombies-deluxe.html" target="_blank">click here.</a></p>
<p>In the theme of zombie&#8217;s, here is one of<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/zhylgaia"> 28 videos spotlighting the very best in zombie movies </a>through the years:</p>
