[The Master™]

How about reading classic books in about a minute???

Yes I saw this site some time back and was quite intrigued by it. Personally I found it a litle too brief but it can at least give you a rough idea of the book in case you want to pursue its longer version...

I love the entry for The Collected Works of Stephen King:

"It was a nice day... THEN EVIL CAME!"

The movie-a-minute site is also worth checking out.

 

[FelineEyes]

Gee, what a great way to get the good bits of books without reading the whole thing.
Fun though.

 

[Rane Longfox]

Heheh, I've never seen the New Spring one before

Of the others, my favorite has always been Good Omens, I think

 

[The Master™]

Think I liked Starship Troopers the most...

Lots of fun time-wasting ploys on that site, once you've zipped through their books-in-a-minute.

 

[Thadlerian]

Heh, it summed up The Eye of the World pretty good...

 

[kaneda]

haha, loved the dragonlance ones

We will now turn the series over to a bunch of lesser writers who will churn out book after book of mindless drek.​

(They DO, and it SUCKS.)

Their version of Terry Brooks' The Sword of Shannara is actually better than Brooks' version.

they get caught by trolls and its scary cause there almost eaten
they get caught by orsc ditto ditto ditto ditto
they get caught by spiders ditto

My favorite is Interview with a vampire :
ANGST

 

[Rosemary]

Short, sweet and to The End !! I shall 'find the time' in future

Poor Garion

It's amusing, though I doubt anyone would read a book they'd not tried before after those brief glances.

hitchhikers guide: the earth gets blown up

 

[Salazar]

I like the idea but... well, look, read this:

Harry Potter
I thought I was a lowly child; instead, I'm a wizard.

Hagrid
Harry, here are some secrets I'm not supposed to tell you.

Harry Potter
(saves the world)

THE END

Um I think that kind of tells nothing and if you didn't know what story this is(wouldn't blame you), it is Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone

 

[Princess Ivy]

i believe that says just about everything babe, don't get me wrong i liked harry potter but the plots are a little simplistic, as are most good novels
*looks around and runs frome hordes of people taking offense to that*

 

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

It's a joke, not serious synopses! I especially like the ones about Heinlein novels.

 

[Princess Ivy]

i didn't get a chance to see all of them, but i'd love to see what it said about 'glory road' would also love to see a couple of grrm
*makes mental note to revisit and promptly forgets*
