Came across this site, and I was wondering if many people knew about it. They provide ultra summaries of heaps of books (they do movies too) and they're quite funny.

My favourite is:

"The Collected Work of Jane Austen
By Jane Austen
Ultra-Condensed by Christina Carlson and Peter da Silva

Female Lead:I secretly love Male Lead. He must never know.

Male Lead:I secretly love Female Lead. She must never know.

(They find out.)

THE END"
Makes me laugh every time.
Also:
"The Collected Work of Stephen King
Ultra-Condensed by Mike Martinez

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

THE END"
So check it out (if you haven't already) and share your thoughts.

The only problem with this site is that a lot of the ultra condensers merely ultra condensed versions of blurbs. Pick and a copy of the Wordsworth Classics publication of War and Peace and see what it says on the back, then read the ultra condense. It's really pretty juvenile.

no joy for catch-22

Hmm. The condensed Collected works of Anne McCaffrey is identical to the Collected works of Jane Austen.

I found this site some time last year. It was listed as a "resource website" in the planners out school gives to VCE students. Well if that's what they want us to use as a "resource" then....
