The Return of Serial Literature....
In the 19th century, newspaper readers could look forward to reading the latest installment of a novel in addition to the daily news. Charles Dickens is one of the best known authors whose works were originally published serially in newspapers and magazines.
DailyLit is a contemporary version of serial literature delivered to your email rather than the front porch. At DailyLit, readers can subscribe to receive installments of novels delivered on a daily schedule and at a time specified by you. Many "classic" novels that are out of copyright are available for free (and there's no registration or subscription fee.) Or you can choose from more current titles, which range in price from $5-$7. Each installment takes about 5 minutes to read, and if you want to read more you can request the next installment be sent immediately. Who knows, you may summon up the courage to tackle Crime and Punishment, or take up learning Spanish. Thanks to DailyLit I'll finally get to cross Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie off my "to read" list...
