Good News (for a narrow subset of people)

One of my all time favorite books has been picked up by the BBC so that they can turn it into a minseries.

Says the Paper of Record:

To a television lineup that includes time-traveling adventures and clone-related intrigues, BBC America is adding a little magic. That network and its British sibling, the BBC, said on Monday that they would produce a television adaptation of Susanna Clarke’s best-selling novel, “Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell,” which would be shown as a mini-series in 2014.

This is probably not going to be terrible, and it might be really great. Because the book was really great. Although many (all?) of the people to whom I recommended it didn't like it as much as I did. Philistines.
