Ultra Condensed Books

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Lookin’ good there, Charles! 

tinwhistler:

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.”

Hold. The phone.
There’s a book cover for your phone that double as a wallet? So you can look at I Heart Classics on your iPhone/Android and pretend it’s an actual book?!

Shut up and take my money.  

Trees are turned into books, but this person turned books into a tree!

Awesome!

Happy holidays, from I Heart Classics.

Your Literary LOL of the day. 

Jane Austen’s Birthday Horoscope for December 16, 2011: Sagittarius
Your wit is on fire, Sagittarius, as you head into the holiday season! No Yule log needed. Your sense is overshadowed by your sensibility. Your prejudice is buried in your radiant pride. Today you can persuade anyone of anything, and you will try! But be careful not to outshine those who are important in your life: especially your family who will support you in anything. Return the favor (but maybe wait until your birthday is over!) and lend a little brilliance to someone else. 

Happy birthday, Jane Austen!

A Dickens currency? All the more reason to visit London!

We know it’s a little late for pumpkin pics, but just look at this! How cool is this carving?!

Nobody except maybe Jane Austen. She seemed to have a pretty good knack for creating blokes who could never exist in real life.

I like the Emily Bronte here much better than I did her books.

And I am a bit sick of all the ridiculous spoofs. It’s just a clever and insulting money making scheme.
