Twitterature: The World's Greatest Books Retold Through Twitter

For the hipster reader: famous books are summarised as a series of tweets in "Twitterature" by Alexander Aciman & Emmett Rensin (see Slot 1).
For older readers: to achieve maximum enjoyment reading "Twitterature" it is advisable to have read/listened to the remaining works on this list (Slots 2-84) as a preparatory exercise.
Seriously though, the list is an excellent set of texts that are savagely parodied in the main "Twitterature" book.
