    I dont think this really qualifies as a summary, this is re-writing an entire novel in simpler language. There is definitely going to be some meaning and intent lost in that process, but not as much as if it was never read it at all.

    I can think of a handful of books that I bounced off of and resorted to looking through the Coles Notes instead.

      I think implying it’s the same book is still kind of an issue.

      If you’ve read “Wishbone Presents Gullfur’s Travels”, you haven’t read Gulliver’s Travels, and you have some huge blind spots about what the actual work is.

      Okay, but I still don’t see how this will get people reading books.

            it is an answer. It exemplifies your lack of imagination and logical thinking. It shows how you aren’t reading other people’s responses to your ignorance, and your distaste to learning about this topic.

              If I lack the ability to think logically, wouldn’t that make you the ableist by belittling someone with a debilitating intellectual disability?

                  Yes, because you’re an ableist bigot.

                    just to remind you: in this post, you’re the ableist bigot, hating on accessibility technology.

                    but hey, you keep projecting and pretending like we can’t read your comments.

                    …even though you have a history of not reading ours.
