"Hilariously imagined text conversations--the passive aggressive, the clever, and the strange--from classic and modern literary figures, from Scarlett O'Hara to Jessica Wakefield. Mallory Ortberg, the co-creator of the cult-favorite website The Toast, presents this whimsical collection of hysterical text conversations from your favorite literary characters. Everyone knows that if Scarlett O'Hara had an unlimited text-and-data plan, she'd constantly try to tempt Ashley away from Melanie with suggestive messages. If Mr. Rochester could text Jane Eyre, his ardent missives would obviously be in all-caps. And Daisy Buchanan would not only text while driving, she'd text you to pick her up after she totaled her car. Based on the popular web-feature, Texts from Jane Eyre is a witty, irreverent mashup that brings the characters from your favorite books into the twenty-first century"--… (altro)

I've never laughed out loud while reading a book, until now. The chapter on Oliver Twist got me, with its hyperbolic descriptions of the misery of a British orphan's life, all written in neat text snippets, each one more absurd and (to me anyway) hilarious than the last. Not all the "conversations" in this book were such comedy gold however, but the ones that stood out were truly a joy to read (not to mention others might find humor in sections I didn't quite get). I'd recommend this book to anyone who's read some of the "Classics" as a light, witty, and surprisingly illuminating read. (

3.5 stars.
Clever idea. The more you've read, the more you get out of it. It's a good one to read aloud. My husband made me read the Emily Dickinson section to him twice.
It's a quick read. The segments are short, so it's easy to find a stopping place-good for picking up when you just have a little time to kill. (

Hilarious retellings and reimaginings of literature classics, often as text message conversations. Thoroughly enjoyed. (

The winner for me is Emily Dickinson.

I will buy literally anything Mallory Ortberg writes. Brilliant. I want to give a copy to everybody. (

Such a perceptive analysis of contemporary culture. This was also a fantastic display of the personalities and contemporary perceptions of literary classic characters. Since most of the humor would be lost if you did not already know who the playing parties were, I do not think this could be read by someone who was not aware of the characters that the novel parodies. It shouldn't, however, serve as a deterrent. I found humor in the back-and-forth conversations, even with the segments I was unfamiliar with. (
