Hi! Good question, and good to see you here.

We read them, which is why it only gets updated
every two weeks with two or three new
condensations between the two of us (Dave and I).

However -- and I shouldn't admit this -- we're
cheating a little with the upcoming Book-A-Minute
Classics. Since this page will cover works so
well known they are almost "common knowledge,"
we're writing some condensations based on
faithful film versions and literary analysis
and so forth. Even so, we've still read more
than half of them between us.
