Serialized Books by Email or RSS Feed
I know this isn’t a videocast or the long-delayed podcast I’ve been dreaming up, but I think it is cool, nonetheless. If you are like me, and have a difficult time fitting in good old fashioned books between reading emails, blog posts, text messages, and RSS feeds, then you might enjoy this website I’ve recently discovered. It is called DailyLit and they serialize books and novels and deliver them via email or RSS feed. They send one installment a day, but you also have the option of having the next installment sent immediately.
Here is the best part: they offer FREEBIES! Yes, that’s right- free!
They also offer low-cost choices that start in the $4.00 range. That isn’t bad…
I’ve chosen to start with My Life and Work - an Autobiograpgy by Henry Ford. I figured this was somewhat appropriate, considering the focus of Scenesfromthepast.com and Castsfromthepast.com.
Description:
Born into a modest Detroit family, Henry Ford became a pioneer of American ingenuity and industry. In 1922, at the peak of his success in putting countless automobiles on the road, Ford put his own story onto paper. A practical statement of his personal history and shrewd business values, this book is the self-portrait of an American icon, one of the greatest success stories of United States history in his own words.
I’m going to see how this goes and will try to offer reviews on the books I read, if they are appropriately themed.
You know, I’ve always wanted to read Moby Dick.
