Free Literature- Delivered through your e-mail or RSS Feed

Ahh, the best things in life are free. On the super-cool website Life Hacker, I found a link to a wonderful service that will deliver chunks of classic literature to you for free! The site is called Daily Lit, and you can receive literature daily (as the name suggests) through your e-mail or RSS Feed. There are some books that you must pay for, but all of the classics that are public domain are absolutely free.

Pros:

1. No late fees. (Good news for me!)
2. Did I mention it's free?!
3. Keeps you on track.
4. Delivered right to your computer-how convenient!

Cons:

1. You have to wait for more reading material--even if you'd like to read on! (But seriously, did I mention it's free and there are no late fees?!)

Isn't the internet just the greatest?

The Power of Suggestion

In the car this evening, James offered an idea for Spartan Living-to spite me, really. He said I should suggest using the library rather than buying books. You see, I have an abundance of books and a shortage of shelf space in our home office. He's right about taking advantage of the local offering because not only are the books free, you also don't have to store them. The library also offers books on tape, DVDs, and music! What a wonderful and free public service. (Well, it's free assuming you're not like me-I have a $16 fine to pay next time I go to the library for some overdue books! That racked up fast...)
Plus, library books always have that comforting library smell-you know what I'm talking about!

Some of my suggestions:

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Beach Music by Pat Conroy
Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy

Enjoy the library--and get those books turned in on time!
