Site of the Night: 60 Second Recap
Though only launched today in its Alpha form, 60 Second Recap has the potential to be a highly enjoyable and informative community for students and book lovers in general.
Hosted by the mysterious and quite likable Jenny, the site offers short videos on the plots, characters, themes, motifs and other assorted lightning rods for commentary of a growing collection of books.
Wisely, in my view, the site kicked off with a solid selection of classics: Great Expectations, Of Mice and Men, Romeo and Juliet, The Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby. But Jenny’s more than just a classic lit fan; new releases like The Carbon Diaries also get the recap treatment in the “Pick of the Week”.
If Jenny and the crew keep adding content and can build a vibrant community of commenters and uploaders, 60 Second Recap could be huge.
(Thanks, Michael!)
