Hey, guys, the post about Dune reminded me of the book-a-minute site and I’d thought I’d share it with you guys. I found it a few years ago in the Stephen R. Lawhead site, and forgot about it till now. The site condenses popular novels into less then a minute for those of us who don’t have the time. Enjoy  http://www.gotcha222/bookaminute/They even have a movie-a-minute site.  |

And I’m posting this one just for A4C: http://www.gotcha222/bookaminute/b/rowling.stone.shtmlEditor's Note Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is not just about magic; it is magic, for this single book is mysteriously comprised of two separate texts: there is the printed text that is experienced when the book is read, and there is the secret, more sinister text that is experienced when it is not read. This strange divergence has caused a lot of controversy, but we here at Book-A-Minute maintain the spirit of neutrality and uphold the freedom of personal choice. Rather than forcing our readership to subscribe to one text or the other, we have chosen to condense both versions of the text, thereby permitting concerned parents the choice of which version -- if either -- to read to their children. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (aka: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) (printed version) By J. K. Rowling Ultra-Condensed by Samuel Stoddard Harry Potter I thought I was a lowly child; instead, I'm a wizard. Hagrid Harry, here are some secrets I'm not supposed to tell you. Harry Potter (saves the world) THE END Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (aka: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) (secret version) By J. K. Rowling Ultra-Condensed by Samuel Stoddard Harry Potter I thought I was a lowly child; instead, I'm a wizard. J. K.
