When even SparkNotes is too much effort...

Ever wanted to get the gist of a classic novel in, say, less than thirty seconds?

The Book-A-Minute Classics website might be just what you're looking for.

My personal favourite is the condensed version of Hardy's Return of the Native:

Rugged land;
Rustic folks.
Prodigal returns.
Everyone croaks.
