The Classics Slacker

You probably know the basic plot of "Moby Dick." Deranged ship’s captain seeks revenge on a white whale that ate his leg. Sounds like a great story, right? But you’ve also heard that it’s crazy long and boring? Not to worry. "The Classics Slacker Reads Moby Dick" contains all the whale blubber, all the bromances, and all the amputees that appear in Herman Melville’s classic novel in one fun-to-listen to audiobook. You’ll enjoy listening to "The Classics Slacker Reads Moby Dick" so much, you might even want to sit down and read Melville's entire classic yourself. But probably not.

Hooray! "The Classics Slacker Reads" series (Reading the classics so you don't have to) is back with its second volume. This time Classics Slacker readers (Slackies) don't have to read "Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert. This grim French portrait of a sad woman married to a boring doctor often appears near the top of “Greatest Books of All Time” lists.

The Classics Slacker reads the classics so you don't have to! The Classics Slacker had always intended to read the classics of world literature but never quite got around to it. You didn’t, either? Not to worry. The Classics Slacker has stopped slacking and started summarizing them for you in The Classics Slacker series—blatantly irreverent takes on the “Great Books.” Whoooooosh!!! It’s always windy over the moors in England where lovers Heathcliff and Catherine run around, day and night, climbing crags, counting birds, and defying everyone who would keep them apart.
