　　9：40 AM Well, I'm the publisher of Orion Group.Thanks for your attention, Mr.Handsome.I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office.Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading.I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times.One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre.We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.

　　As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it's not as if we're withdrawing the original versions.They are still there if you want to read them.

　　Mr.Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a_breath_of_fresh_air.I'm guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it's just so long.I'd much rather read two 300­page books than one 600­page book.I am looking forward to more shortened classics！

　　4：38 PM I'm from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.

　　In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous.How can you edit the classics? I'm afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader.If people don't have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine.But don't read a shortened version and kid yourself it's the real thing.
