Twitter a Classic

Is it possible to rewrite War and Peace in one sentence? How do you think @Dostoevsky would express Russian nihilism in extreme short form?

If you can capture the essence of a classic book in a twitter-length blurb, prove it to us! We want to publish your best 140-character renditions of literary "classics" on our blog, twitter feed, and facebook page. Plus, you'll be entered into a contest to win a novel prize (pun intended).

Here is a warm-up attempt on Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre:

Plain, orphaned Jane grows to adore her shadowy socialite master, but his secret burns their amour. Love's ashes bring Jane full circle back to his loving hands.

Write away classics fans!
