Former Booker Prize Chairman Professor John Sutherland has come up with a novel idea - condensing the nation's 25 favourite beach reads into 140 characters for the Twitter generation.

Not novel. I tried it myself some time ago. It's only novel because he's more famous than me. But I can prove I wrote a number of my own stories, and some modernised versions of classic short stories, in 140 character units, starting about 2-3 years ago. It was when I was messing around trying to decide what to write or how. I eventually decided the character limit was too artificial and constraining, and gave it up.
