What with the war in Iraq, SARs, and all that, I think we all need a bit of humor these days...

I stumbled across a website today, Book-A-Minute classics. Here's a sample:


The Collected Works of Jane Austen
Ultra-Condensed by Christina Carlson and Peter da Silva

Female Lead:
I secretly love Male Lead. He must never know.

Male Lead:
I secretly love Female Lead. She must never know.

(They find out.)

THE END

Othello
By William Shakespeare
Ultra-Condensed by Ric F. Barker

Iago:
Your wife's cheating on you.

Othello:
She is? (kills wife) Damn, she wasn't really.

THE END


Here's another one:

War and Peace
By Leo Tolstoy
Ultra-Condensed by Kris Samaras

Leo Tolstoy:

History controls everything we do, so there is no point in observing individual actions. Let's examine the individual actions of over 500 characters at great length.
