Are your students (or you) too busy or too disorganized to read the classics? You know, what I mean, those great old books on which the copyright has expired. If you can’t find the time, or can’t figure out where you put the book DailyLit may be the answer.

DailyLit will e-mail you a small part of a book each day from what must be a couple of hundred different titles. It takes you only a few minutes to read it on your computer, or you can print it out if you like. If you’re gripped by the story you’re reading but are disappointed that the selection is too short, don’t despair because you can request the next section be sent to you immediately.

This might be an easy way to get people reading the classics or their own or as a supplement to a class assignment. The number of parts to read ranges from a couple of dozen to several hundred depending on the title and layout of the section so that means there’s quite a few possibilities for how to use the site.
