If you want people to think you've read a lot of books, but don't have the time to read them, read this at rinkworks.com. You can also read it if you're looking for something funny about books. (Posted something like this in the Movies section, but in case anyone here doesn't go there. And this is the Books section of rinkworks.)

Sadly, if you told me you'd read Beowulf and I asked you what it was about and you'd tell me: HrothgarLet's build a big old dining hall and call it Herot. (They do. Then Grendel, an ugly guy, takes over Herot and eats people. Beowulf rips his arm off.) AllYou rule, Beowulf. (Some people make SPEECHES and tell IRRELEVANT STORIES. Beowulf kills some more STUFF.) BeowulfWiglaf, I'm dying. See that my funeral pyre fits my greatness. WiglafOk. THE END then I would just laugh into your face really really hard and lose all my respect for you

Don't know if I made it clear enough, but I would never actually try to make people think I'd read a book based on what I'd read there. It was just for fun. But you can't possibly argue with this enterpretation of Hamlet: Hamlet: Whine whine whine...To be or not to be...I'm dead. THE END Or Huck Finn: Huckleberry Finn: (Goes rafting. Goes home.) THE END

Found it funny.
Or to take from above sorta: Hamlet whining is what the plot consists of (very basically) but what he whines about (theme here) is really what it's all about.
Don't get cross Melusine. Just take it as a joke.
