Books in small doses
From Reuters- By Claudia Parsons (Tue May 22, 2007):
Never had time to read "Moby Dick" and want something weightier than spam to read in your email inbox? A new Web site is offering to send classic books in bite-size installments to your handheld device or e-mail whenever you have a free moment, for free.
The e-mails from www.dailylit.com are designed to be read in under five minutes. Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days" comes in 82 parts while Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" could take nearly two years of working days to read at 430 parts.
And you don’t have to register either. I just received the first chapter of Sense and Sensibility (yeah, yeah, I haven't read it yet) and the email subject came as ‘Sense and Sensibility (1 of 144)’ so you know exactly how many parts you’ve read/ have left to read.
