Short Story About A Long Book

As a class assignment, I'm supposed to read chapters 2-4 of a book.

I pick up the book.

It has only 4 chapters. 

Chapter 1 is a 20-page preface. The rest is 300 pages long.

It's one of two books I have to read by next class.

I have 3 classes.

My first thought: "Oh so this is the overwhelming work they were talking about..."

(cue shake n' pop! CUE IT! c'mon I need it!)

That's better.
