If you're like me, you spend a great deal of your day sifting through hundreds of tweets, blog posts, e-mails, and Facebook posts. In between, all of us manage to squeeze in a book or two over the course of the week, and if we're lucky, even a few poems. Wouldn't it be great if you could get some reading done while you're slogging through all those e-mails and RSS feeds? That's where innovative service DailyLit comes in.
As their helpful graphic above illustrates, DailyLit takes short stories and novels, cuts them into easily digestible pieces, and feeds them to you through RSS or e-mail. Many of the newer books require a small fee [usually around $7], but there are over 800 free books available. If you're already a regular Google Reader user, it seems like the RSS option is really the way to go. And the service even allows you to sign in with your Google, Facebook, Twitter, or OpenID account.
If you spend your whole day on the computer, this is definitely something worth looking into. Though it's not a replacement for leisure reading, it's a great way to get through some of those reads you may have been putting off.
