If you’re too lazy to read the book that you’re supposed to be writing a report about, here are some descriptions to help you out. They’re 140 characters or less, like your standard tweet. However, most normal people just read the back of the book if they’re not willing to read the book itself. Or hey, you could even google a summary of the book and just write your own report based on that.
But if you’re in college and you can’t even be bothered to read classic novels, why are you in school? Just quit school and become a freelance writer. Actually, don’t do that. Stay in school and read the books that are assigned to you. In general, it’ll make you smarter. And you can be that one guy at the party who can say he actually read The Grapes of Wrath.
Take a look at these some times funny, sometimes moving 140 character or less novels and let us know what you think in the comments. Do you really feel like you know the books based on these tweets?
