A Brief Note for Readers

Homer's Iliad, Summarized

So, graphic designer Jason Huff used the “Auto-Summarize” function of Microsoft Word 2008 to reduce the 100 most-downloaded public domain works into ten simple sentences.  ”Auto-Summarize” works as follows:

“Word has examined the document and picked the sentences most relevant to

the main theme.” – Word 2008

As you can imagine, this has delivered some humorous results.  I particularly like Homer’s Iliad, which is pictured to the right.  Head on over to his site to see the rest of the results.

Or, if you prefer to read many of the entire works.  Planet eBooks has prepared and formatted 80 classic works into free-to-download-and-distribute PDF formats.  You can find their entire catalog here.
