You’ve probably waded through a stack of books and penned umpteen reports during the past school year. Now imagine if someone took those great works of literature and reduced the books’ plots to a few sentences. That’s what you find at the Book-A-Minute Classics Web site at rinkworks.com/ bookaminute/classics.html.

This Web site boils down favorite stories – from children’s books to classics – to their essence, with hilarious results. Under the Book-a-Minute treatment, Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” becomes: “Whine, whine, whine… To be or not to be. … I’m dead.” Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” is: “Some Creature: I won’t eat green eggs and ham anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances. Sam I Am: Try it. Some Creature: Yum.”

If you thought Cliff’s Notes were wordy, this Web site is for you. Read it for laughs.
