Has anyone seen this? a new way to encourage students to read the classics by texting them a very abbrieviated version;

MadWyfStsFyr2YrHaus is the text ending to Jane Eyre for example, which made me laugh, but also made me wonder why, in a way, you'd bother to read the full versions if the aim is to entice students in with a soundbite.

A bit like what the Reduced Shakespeare Company do - they get a play down to 30 seconds!
