  • Something Good for Your Inbox: Books!

    September 18, 2007

    Tired of getting nothing in your email but forwards of jokes your uncle sent or one of those no-longer hilarious LOL-cat pictures? Want to read something useful in your emails for a change? Sure you do, and what better email than some classic literature? DailyLit is quite possibly one of the easiest ways to cram as much literature into your technology fueled existence as you can muster. Literally. (Rimshot.)

    Visit the site and search for your favorite novel– or better, one you’ve wanted to read for a while—then, type in your email address and zim-za-la-bim, you’re on your way to book club meetings in no time. The books are sent in installments, and you choose the rate at which the installments are sent to your inbox. You don’t even have to register unless you want to sign up on the forums, and after all, what fun are books if you can’t talk about them? There’s plenty to choose from here, but the library is rather limited to classic stories and novels by dead authors. But if you want to start reading again (because we all know you need to) this might be just the place to start. But you don’t have to take my word for it. (Cue Reading Rainbow sound.) –JEREMY S.

    You’re wrong: LOL-cat pictures will ALWAYS be hilarious!

    This seems like it would be ideal for English teachers. If the majority of your students are using e-mail, you could assign certain novels to them this way and help them pace themselves towards completion, rather than cramming it all in the night before. Plus, parents could also subscribe and talk about the book with their kids in chunks.
