Website of the Day: DailyLit

The creators of DailyLit sound frighteningly familiar - they say that they saw the need for their website, which delivers "installments" of books to your RSS Reader or email so you can take in equal parts Anna Karenina and Engadget. Why? Because they said they were spending all their time catching up on their Reader and emails, but had no time for books. Um, were you guys reading my diary?!

Some books are free, and some books cost around $4, $7, $10, which is fine with me because the free books will keep me busy long enough! Getting my daily dose of gadget, fashion, and news blogs and a couple chapters of Notes From the Underground? I feel like a Renaissance geek already.

Would You Read A Book Online?

Do you spend hours a day online, but have difficulty finding the time to curl up with a good book? If this is you, Daily Lit has created a tool which sends books right to your inbox in small messages. These messages take less than a few minutes to read and allow you to get your daily book worm dose. What are your thoughts? Would you be willing to give this method of book reading a try?

The creators started DailyLit because they spent hours each day on email but could not find the time to read a book. As self-proclaimed bookworm, and a computer geek, I think this a great idea - especially because I have a large cinema screen. I imagine taking a reading break while enjoying a cup of tea would be the perfect addition to my day.
