Book Summary Competition
Whie sitting in a local coffee and espresso place this morning, I overheard someone saying that he had never seen the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. That got a few people onto trying to summarize what happened. Here is what I said:Boy meets ring. Boy loses ring. The end.So here's the challenge: pick a large literary work and create a summary in ten or fewer words.
