The 60 Second Recap site offers a video based explanation of major literary works. Can one successfully summarize Orwell’s Animal Farm or Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men in just 60 seconds–perhaps not but these clips provide a starting point or context for the work. This site has only been running since late September and only has 17 books but many more are planned and users and request a recap. In addition users can also provide their video perspective on a book.

Lots of potential for Net Gen users who prefer video to the printed page.
