the coolest thing i've seen all day
I'm having a bad day. There, I said it. Details will not be forthcoming, but if you were wondering why I may seem like Captain Crankypants, now you know why.
However, I still came across something that's so totally awesome, I thought I'd share with my usual enthusiasm:
DailyLit sends you bite-sized chunks of public domain books (including many classics) daily, on weekdays, or three times a week via email or RSS -- for free. Each serving takes less than five minutes to read, and if you want, they'll send you the next installment right away if you click a link. The whole idea is to read short segments for a few minutes in your spare time.
When you find a book at DailyLit, (via Title, Author, or Category) it tells you how many parts you'll be subscribing to, so you can get a sense of how long it will take to finish the book, and what kind of commitment you're making. I've subscribed to Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, which I've meant to read for an embarrassingly long time. It's 37 parts, and I'll get it three times a week at noon, just in time for my lunch break.
