Inspired by The Guardian, which books (classic or otherwise) do you think could be shorter? Rebekah - 30/01/2012 02:10:22 PM 1163 Views

The Fires of Heaven is not the best example for that. It was too early. Tom - 31/01/2012 02:31:59 AM 692 Views

Fires of Heaven had ridiculously slow (and annoying) parts. *NM* Aeryn - 02/02/2012 07:10:45 PM 287 Views
I don't think Ivanhoe really needs to be pruned LadyLorraine - 30/01/2012 03:22:37 PM 725 Views
I remember thinking it was long and somewhat difficult when I read it at 13. Rebekah - 30/01/2012 04:31:13 PM 712 Views
Seconded, but it's been ages and I'd really need to reread first. *NM* Legolas - 30/01/2012 10:33:53 PM 296 Views
Mansfield Park needs a jolly good rework. Rebekah - 30/01/2012 04:34:54 PM 654 Views
In fairness, all Mansfield Park needs to be cut is its heroine... Legolas - 30/01/2012 10:34:43 PM 741 Views
The Karamazov Brothers, or whichever order those words go in. jh - 30/01/2012 08:16:19 PM 686 Views
War and Peace. That second epilogue really has to go. Legolas - 30/01/2012 10:37:28 PM 797 Views
"Could" be shorter doesn't always mean "should" be shorter. Tom - 31/01/2012 02:18:44 AM 793 Views
Re: "Could" be shorter doesn't always mean "should" be shorter. DomA - 31/01/2012 04:00:13 AM 752 Views

I don't really think any book should be abridged Maria - 31/01/2012 09:50:34 AM 803 Views
The Bible. Although I hear it's sort of been abridged before. Palatine - 31/01/2012 04:46:28 PM 692 Views
Why would you cut out Matthew 1? Tom - 31/01/2012 05:11:24 PM 671 Views
Not all of it. Palatine - 01/02/2012 04:14:13 PM 751 Views
The "begats" shouldn't be bypassed at all. Tom - 01/02/2012 08:10:48 PM 629 Views
Tom. Thanks for that information. *NM* Palatine - 02/02/2012 02:10:34 PM 321 Views
