Lit 101 Class

In three lines or less; an example:

1984

WINSTON: Don't tell the Party, but sex is way better than totalitarianism.

EVERYONE: Surprise! We're the Party.

WINSTON: Oh, rats.

I wouldn't say that you get the full impact of the message of the works but it is much faster than reading the CliffsNotes.

    Very interesting blog. I liked your link to McSweeney's, you know I've never read anything in that magazine . . .

    The way you describe yourself on your blog is strikingly similar to my own persona (specificially the literary elitist part) . . .

    I'm putting you on my blogroll.

    Cheers
