Classics Adapted to Text Messages

Classics have been adapted and re-adapted to various forms to meet a variety of needs and purposes. But, whether it's for accessibility, space constraints, or for entertainment enhancement, the reader always misses a whole lot in the translation.

Now, the BBC is talking about a new project to adapt/condense the classics to text messages like "2b? Nt2b? ???" It's probably not difficult to guess from whence that line originated... Well, look at this one: "MadwyfSetsFyr2Haus." It's kind of a fun puzzle, and an intriguing idea. Other than the trivia factor, though, what do you think of compressing a classic like Jane Eyre or any other title to a few letters? .
