I was brought up on the British version of Reader's Digest. The things I remember most vividly from it are the 'Drama In Real Life' stories about horrifically bloody accidents, the abridged novels about tragic dying children, the endless jokes about being in the army, but (most excitingly) the daring escapes from the Eastern Bloc into the glorious, happy West. In special compartments of cars! In fridges! In home-made gliders! On a catapult! No, seriously.
