Too busy to read? No matter how odd a premise that sounds, given the opportunity to provide a solution to a problem I didn’t even know I had: DailyLit.com. This service will e-mail you bite size chunks of classic works in the public domain via e-mail at whatever frequency you request. Not sure you’ll find anything to read? Here are a few examples of how it plays out (three I’ve read and one I haven’t, extra points to those who guess correctly):
- Moby Dick
in 252 parts
- Paradise Lost
in 108 parts
- War and Peace
in 675(!) parts
- The Iliad
I’m not sure how some of the poems will work in a plain text e-mail format, but I thought I’d pass this along for your consideration.
