I did book reports from Classics Illustrated. In school, I hated reading. So I'd always look for shortcuts to get it over with.
Every blue moon or so, I'll read an abridged book; but mostly avoid them. With audiobooks, I won't do abridged versions unless they're dramatized productions like the BBC stuff. Those I really enjoy.
