amusing.
The condensed Hitchiker's Guide annoyed me, but the condensed Dune made it all worth it:
FRANK HERBERT
I'm lots smarter than you are. I challenge you to understand even one of my paragraphs!
READER
Gee, Frank Herbert is smart. I can't even find the plot.
THE END
Love it!
Well, I submitted a condensed version of 'Forge of God' by Greg Bear, but seeing as how it says the latest addition to the page was in September of last year, I'm not holding my breath.
I'm gonna use one of the summaries for a book report and pass!
(doesn't pass)
Aww man, the internet failed me.
Some of these are very funny, at least the ones I've read. Useful when looking for original plots. You just don;t use these.
Some are pretty funny, but the Vonnegut-hater writing condensed Vonnegut is pretty lame. It's "ultra-condensed" not "ultra-condescending."
