Twitterature
Book (italiano):
<DIV>Perhaps while reading Shakespeare you've asked yourself, <I>What exactly is Hamlet trying to tell me? Why must he mince words and muse in lyricism and, in short, whack about the shrub?</I> But if the Prince of Denmark had a Twitter account and an iPhone, he could tell his story in real time--and concisely! Hence the genius of <I>Twitterature</I>.<br><BR> Hatched in a dorm room at the brain trust that is the University of Chicago, <I>Twitterature</I> is a hilarious and irreverent re-imagining of the classics as a series of 140-character tweets from the protagonist. Providing a crash course in more than eighty of the world's best-known books, from Homer to Harry Potter, Virgil to Voltaire, Tolstoy to <I>Twilight</I> and Dante to <I>The Da Vinci Code</I>. It's the ultimate Cliffs Notes. Because as great as the classics are, who has time to read those big, long books anymore?<br><BR> <B>Sample tweets:</B><br><BR> From <I><B>Hamlet</B>: WTF IS POLONIUS DOING BEHIND THE CURTAIN??? </I><br><BR> From the <I><B>Harry Potter</I> series</B>: <I>Oh man big tournament at my school this year!! PSYCHED! I hope nobody dies this year, and every year as if by clockwork. </I><br><BR> From <I><B>The Great Gatsby</B>: Gatsby is so emo. Who cries about his girlfriend while eating breakfast...IN THE POOL? </I><br><BR><BR><BR></DIV>
