Summer is drawing to its inevitable close, which means the required summer reading list you've been putting off is starting to look more daunting and dreadful than ever.
Luckily for you, Nick Offerman of Parks and Rec fame is here to ease your back-to-school woes with a handy guide to teachers' favorite classics.
Instead of canceling that water park trip to slog through Animal Farm, simply refer to Offerman's comprehensive summary: "It's like the movie Babe: Pig in the City -- but in the end, turns out, Communism is bad."
Now throw out that copy of Hamlet and get back to YOLO-ing. (Just kidding, kids. Reading is awesome.)
