Re: Cliff's Notes Spinoff
never.
I'm a reader
ETA: That's not entirely true, I did use spark notes in college to BS in class when i realized an hour before that I had not done the reading.

Re: Cliff's Notes Spinoff
i might be a dummy, but i found the cliffs notes harder to follow then the actual book. it was easier to read "lord of the flies" or whatever, then read the appreviated version

Re: Cliff's Notes Spinoff
I did a few times. I remember having my friends explain Beowulf & the Canterbury Tales out of them in the bar in college. I found them helpful. I only got a B. It could be that by the time I got home, I only had a few hours until my finals, so it was still fresh in my mind.

Re: Cliff's Notes Spinoff
Only for Moby ****.
It was the only book I truly could not get into.
I wanted to know why a white whale couldn't just be a damn whale instead of everything having to SYMBOLIZE something else the whole book.
It is possible that Melville wasn't that sophisticated and years of English teachers have been reading waaaaaay too much into it. 
Sorry....I really hated Moby ****.

I used to love the shakespsear books where on the opposing pages they gave a defintition of unfamiliar words and phrases and sometimes a synopsis of what was happenning on the page. It really aided my early understanding of shakespeare

Re: Cliff's Notes Spinoff
Yes, but the teachers were smart and knew not to ask questions that were in the Cliffs Notes.
