I've  been laughing about these for the last half an hour.  Read on to see many of your favourite scifi and fantasy books... reduced to their essences.
Take, for example, this summary of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein:
Robert A. Heinlein

I have a plan for the perfect revolution.

Reader

Interesting, tell me more.

Robert A. Heinlein

Step One: Live on the moon.

Reader

Uh....

Robert A. Heinlein

Step Two: Discover an omnipresent sentient computer.

Reader

*sigh*

I love the Collected Works of H.P. Lovecraft:

Narrator	I will tell you about something horrific I witnessed.
(Narrator discusses MUNDANE experiences which supposedly lead up to something HORRIFIC.)
Narrator	We're almost at the horrific bit.
(Narrator talks about more stuff that might be SPOOKY if he'd only GET ON WITH IT.)
Narrator	We're very close now.
(Narrator draws it out MORE.)
Narrator	This time I swear we're just about at the horrific thing almost.
(Narrator FINALLY gets to the HORRIFIC thing which is HUGE and POWERFUL and EVIL and LAME.)
