Guardian Unlimited Books | The digested read | In digestion:
No one can quite remember whose idea the Digested Read first was, but I am delighted to have inherited it more than five years ago. The idea of rewriting a book in the style of the author in just 500 or so words is a gift to any satirist, and it remains the only outlet in the print media where publishers’ hype always gets treated with the irreverence it deserves.

I love anything that makes me laugh. These are terrific.
