Fragmentary Reading

August 19th, 2007

A while ago I found a link to Dailyliy on some blog, likely Lifehacker. It’s a site that emails you up to three books at a time in short daily doses. Needless to say, they don’t have the current best sellers, but if you’re looking for… a drip feed of Sherlock Holmes, it has what you’re after. You can also get a bunch of the old Russian classics, spread over 500+ emails or rss entries. I don’t know what translation they use, so I’m not sure I’d go for that. But currently I’m getting Philoctetes, The Picture of Dorian Grey (which originally came out as a serial, thought probably not in 95 parts), and a collection of ghost stories.

Not a bad way to get a little reading done on the sly at work.

Edit: It appears that there is no longer a three book cap.

    Um. Did you look at the top ten list of authors? Cory Doctorow comes in at number 9, edging out Jules Verne.

    …I, um…what?

    They also have one of Lessig’s free thought manifestos. I’m going to have to check that one out soon.
