Sci-Fi Book Summarizations Website

I've forgotten the url to this site. It's a webpage featuring ultra-short, very funny summaries to major works of science fiction. I've googled and googled, no avail. Help?

Could it be

(no, I don't know how to do a fancy link. I'm a doctor, dammit, not a programmer...)

That's it, Doc, thanks!

This thread can no longer serve any purpose.

Nonsense! That's a great list, but there's a lot of books that still aren't on it! For example:

The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

LESTRADE: The police are baffled, Holmes.

HOLMES: Elementary, Watson.

WATSON: Brilliant, Holmes!

THE END


Waldo by Robert A. Heinlein

WALDO: I'm sick and fat, so I'm mean.

AMISH GUY: Here's some magic.

WALDO: Oh, I'm cured! I guess I'll be nice.

THE END


A double-shot of Stephen King:

Pet Sematary

JUD: Don't bury a person up there, Louis.

(He does, and everybody dies.)

THE END


FIRESTARTER

ANDY: Don't set fires, Charlie.

GOVERNMENT: No, it's okay for you to set fires.

(She does, and everybody dies.)

THE END


Which Way books by various authors

Turn to PAGE 32.

THE END
