Headline: Website Summarises Classic Books So You Can Read Them In Under A Minute

Caption: Sometimes there is nothing better than curling up with a good book, especially a classic. But with our hectic lifestyles sometimes we just don't have the time to sit down and read a 350-page novel. Thankfully, Book-A-Minute Classics exists. Book-A-Minute, which is owned by Samuel Stoddard and David J. Parker, is a fantastic website that condenses “classic” novels into their purest essence. And while nothing can replace the feel of a good novel in your hands - and the eau de stink of the used bookstore you found it in - the Book-A-Minute website aims to catch you up on all the classics you’ve been meaning to read since … forever. “When even the CliffsNotes are just too long, come here. Covers everything from Shakespeare to Steinbeck,” the site teases. They’ve taken fine literature, science-fiction/fantasy, and children’s bedtime stories and condensed them into amusing one-minute reads. Interestingly enough, you’ll find that many of them are dead-on descriptions of the actual works. Head over to http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute and check a few classic book to-dos off your bucket list.
