[B]revity is the soul of wit,” Polonius declared in Hamlet. (Too bad the windbag didn’t practice what he preached.)

Lit140 is where books come to lighten up. As hostess, my mission is to pare the synopsis of every classic work in the whole wide world (plus not-so-classic faves) down to 140 characters or less. It’s quite an undertaking, I know. Fortunately, I have help: my fellow writer Kevin Dwyer has agreed to tend bar and pitch in with some snappy copy.

Happy reading,

Fio
