Max: DailyLit

DailyLit is an groovy site that will daily send - via email or RSS - 1000 word chunks of classic, public domain books. It even tells you in advance how many chunks you will receive and lets you choose to get your chunks every day, every weekday or Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you are feeling spunky, you can even tell them to send the next chunk right now rather than waiting for the next scheduled post. It isn't perfect. The translation of Aristotle's Poetics they were sending me was so incomprehensible - especially compared with the translation available at the Gutenberg Project site - that I cancelled it in favour of Around the World in Eighty Days, which oddly enough comes in 89 chunks.

Give it a try.

Glad to hear you like DailyLit. We'll look into getting a better translation of Aristotle's POETICS.
