Twitterature: The World's Greatest Books Retold Through Twitter by Alexander Aciman, Emmett Rensin

2.0

I figured I'd better get this out of the way before all the jokes are dated by Twitter's new character limit. I feel like I ought to be the ideal candidate for this, but it's... meh. A lot of the selections are a little obscure-- I'm a huge nerd, but I've never heard of a handful of these, and even some I'd heard of relied on a more intimate knowledge of the text to work. A little disappointing, with jokes that were obvious at times and mean at others.
