i have discovered a lovely new(to me) site that will inspire horror in those of a serious literary persuasion, possible confusion in the rest of the population, and general hilarity all around...
please go visit Book-A-Minute Classics and see for yourself - they are truly brilliant...
my favorite so far is this one, of The Odyssey ...
That is funny stuff. But I am a bit mortified... and I'm SOO not an English nerd. Example:
ReplyDeleteThe Metamorphosis
By Franz Kafka
Gregor Samsa
Holy crap, I'm a vermin thingie!
(He DIES...eventually.)
THE END
I mean, wow...
CliffsNotes.com could learn a thing or two ;)
absolutely brilliant, love it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of this version of The Canterbury Tales
ReplyDeleteI love it :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't read too many but I love their version of the Confessions of St. Augustine:
St. Augustine
I was a bad boy. Damn, was I a bad boy. Not anymore, though.
THE END
Thanks for recommending this. I am an English nerd and keep laughing my butt off at this stuff. BTW the Odyssey is definitely funny.
