DailyLit, the website that offers online serialization of books and sends out portions of them daily, has launched a reading group on the social networking site Twitter. I confess I don't twitter (but look for me on Facebook!), but it sounds like a pretty cool venture if you want a daily dose of a book (sent to your cell phone or via instant messenger) and the ability to talk about it with others reading right along with you on Twitter forums.
The first three titles are Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Tom Peters' 100 Ways to Succeed/Make Money. The free snippets start going out on Monday, June 16th. For more information about how to sign up, go here.
If any of you already get DailyLit, I'd love to hear about your experience, and if you participate in one of the reading groups, please let us know!
DailyLit is fantastic! I had been using their service to break up my work day for about a year and enjoyed every moment. On slow day it was easy to just click for the next part to be sent and read and extra part or four.
I pimp DailyLit to all my friends that say they want to read more but don't have the time!
