You're asking at 11 pm (my time, don't know what it is your time) the day before an exam if anyone has read these books on a completely unrelated discussion forum?

You're going about this entirely the wrong way.

It is possible to get by without doing readings but you still have to do work. Cliffs notes, spark notes, skimming the book... you can't expect to pass an exam based on what some strangers tell you on a forum the night before. That's just silly.

Yes, this is the forum. I'm saying this is a hopeless cause. If you want to learn the books without reading them then look for some real sources.

I read Beowulf a long time ago.

It's about a monster that lives with his mother.

People used to find that scary, but that was a long time ago, like back in World War Two.

I was referring to the website in general. This is a site for autism discussion. While there is plenty of off-topic discussion, it's nothing more than discussion. You can't expect to get any information valuable enough to base your studying on, at least not in a reasonable time frame.

I read a book once, back in the old days, when there was nothing else to do.

Flashman - Series about a horny Victorian guy
Tom Brown - I have no idea
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The title is self-explanatory
Beowulf - Danish guy goes around killing monsters
Grendel - Beowulf from the monster's point of view

There. I did your homework for you.

Possibly Tom Brown's School Days? That's the only Tom Brown reference I can think of.
