Do the shorter readings include 'A Modest Proposal'? That is a masterpiece of dark and pointed satire.

It has been a long time since I read 'Gulliver's Travels' - it was a childhood favourite, but Swift's misanthropy and misogyny really rankled me in my teens, so I haven't reread it since. Time to take another look.

Yes, “A Modest Proposal” is on the agenda.
