Moby Dick Via MTA

There’s a new service out of NYC called Daily Lit which will email you chapters of classic novels and famous texts for easy reading via your PDA. If you’ve got a train or bus commute and you have a Blackberry or similar device, you can catch up on the classics, 1000 words at a time. It’s a free service, all you have to provide is your email address and how often you’d like to be sent chapters. If you finish early, you can respond “send next chapter immediately.” I’m slogging throught their list looking for something that appeals to me. Sense And Sensibility? Ugh, no thank you. Anna Karenina in 430 parts? Uh, no. It looks like they have about 700 books so far. So much for Brick Breaker and Solitaire. You don’t have to be in NYC to use the service, obviously.
