Thug Notes: Classic Literature. Original Gangster

This is just a short post to recommend and share Thug Notes - a series of videos on the Wisecrack channel on youtube that I absolutely love.

The presenter, Sparky Sweets PhD presents summaries and analysis of classic literature as you've never seen before: through a gangster persona.

It's hilarious, informative, well worth a subscribe to Wisecrack's channel, and there are loads of these all ready and waiting for you to enjoy, so dive in!  Off the top of my head:  Hamlet, Catch 22, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights... 

I'll admit that a few have even opened my eyes to new interpretations of beloved classic reads.

They recently uploaded a review for Les Misérables, possibly one of my favourite novels ever, which I embed below for your enjoyment.
