Website of the Day: Squashed Books

Dozens of abridged versions of classic books:

Squashed Writers ("ALL THE BOOKS YOU THINK YOU OUGHT TO HAVE READ - In their own words... but magically Squashed into half-hour short stories...")

Squashed Philosophers ("Squashed Philosophers is a website offering abridged versions of some classic philosophical texts. Significant works of many well-known philosophers can be found here, and classical and early modern philosophy are particularly well-represented. Also included are some political, psychoanalytic and scientific texts at the margins of philosophy. Each text is introduced with an "extremely squashed" synopsis, along with an indication of the original and the abridged length of the text. The home page contains an estimated reading time for each abridged version.")
