This is so cool…

www.dailylit.com

From the website:

We created DailyLit because we spent hours each day on email but could not find the time to read a book. Now the books come to us by email. Problem solved.

The Idea

We got the idea for DailyLit after the New York Times serialized a few classic works in special supplements a few summers ago. We wound up reading books that we had always meant to simply by virtue of making them part of our daily routine of reading the newspaper. The only thing we do more consistenly than read the paper is read email. Bingo! We put together a first version and began reading “War of the Worlds” and “Pride and Prejudice“. We showed it to friends, added more books and features at their request, and presto, DailyLit was born.

Now you can go to www.dailylit.com and choose from dozens of great books and have them delivered to your email inbox or RSS feedreader in daily “bite-sized” chunks. I’m currently reading “A Tale of Two Cities“.

You don’t even need to register although it does give you more control over your subscriptions if you do register.

The point is… if you’d like to start reading a great book that you haven’t gotten around to yet… give dailylit.com a try. A Tale of Two Cities comes in 170 parts. Sure that’s a long time, but would I read it within the next 170 days without getting it through dailylit.com? Nope… probably not.
