DailyLit: Get Your Literary Fix in Small Doses


If you want to find a way to incorporate reading in your daily routine, DailyLit might just be the right tool for you. DailyLit provides a free subscription service that delivers books in small chunks (that can be read in 5 minutes or less) through RSS and email. The website provides over 1000 books to choose from, including all the usual classics as well as foreign literature and book samples. All you have to do is pick a book (or books) and customize the settings to when and how often you want to receive the installments. Currently, I'm getting installments of Grammar Devotional by Mignon Fogarty via email.

More Book Covers




The Book Cover Archive is--you guessed it--a website dedicated to archiving book cover designs.

On a related note, check out this article about the 50 Most Captivating Covers of All Time and this article titled 45 Beautifully Designed Book Covers.

I have always been partial of the cover of The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger's other works also have the same design).
