Why read books by email?

Because if you are like us, you spend hours each day reading email but don't find the time to read books. DailyLit brings books right into your inbox in convenient small messages that take less than 5 minutes to read. This works incredibly well not just on your computer but also on a Treo, Blackberry, Sidekick or whatever the PDA of your choice. In the words of Dr. Seuss: Try it, you might like it! (Oops -- it would appear that the actual quote from Green Eggs and Ham is "You do not like them. So you say. Try them! Try them! And you may.")

It's probably the only way I'd get through it.

I'm sure it's a fine book. It's just as I've gotten older I find my attention span keeps getting shorter. I'll read the Cliffs Notes version.

What ever happened to your friend who was into Russian literature?

I do most of my reading in the bathroom. On the loo or in the bath, I'd put bookshelves in there if it wasn't for the steam making them puffy!

nice recommendation, but how're you going to post on this thing and NOT mention what you're reading?
