The ultra digest - a collection of literary encapsulations.

Will be put on the table for the meetup tonight.

couldn't resist :-( ;-)

Have a good journey, I hope to hear something one day!

I was intrigued by the title so I grabbed this from the book buffet.

I picked this up from the book buffet at the 2016 BookCrossing Anniversary Convention in Athens because I thought it would provide some light reading on my trip. I was not able to get into it during my travels because it was just too offbeat. When I needed a distraction from my other books, though, and wanted to stick with this month's reading theme of numbers, I snagged it off the shelf.

The little encapsulations of the books were likely not intended to really educate those who haven't read the books in question, which is a good thing. For the books I had read, some of them were amusing and I could follow the blurb -- some of them I couldn't. For the books I hadn't read but was familiar with, I got some basic information that for the most part confirmed the reasons I hadn't yet been drawn to read them. For the books I had never heard of, I learned nothing, although I think some of the bits were amusingly crafted.

This book is going to meet-up with me and hopefully going home with someone else.
