Just learned about this site: Daily Lit. Novels delivered to my email…for free! That speaks to a teacher’s heart…and purse-strings!
First, thanks go to Ms. Carla The English Teacher Blog. for writing about this new find.
On this website, all sorts of literature may be discovered…593 classics alone, which are sent to the reader in installment format…meaning you receive a portion each day…via your email…free!
I chose The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald for three reasons:
- This novel is now one of the newly released movies, and I like to have read the novel before seeing the movie.
- Written by Fitzgerald, this novel may give insights to the author as English 11 studies another of Fitzgerald’s novels The Great Gatsby.
- A goal of mine is to read more classical literature.
In eleven installments…or in eleven days, I will have read this novel. Not bad!
Posted, in part, previously on one of my student blogs at Writing Right.

I haven’t tried Daily Lit, but I downloaded the same novel to Stanza to read on my iPod Touch. I enjoy reading it on the go. I’ll have to try and see if I like the daily emails better or not.
How are you liking it?

So far so good! They have mastered the concept of the “hook.” I’ll definitely have to go and see the movie…in nine days!

Enjoy! I am now reading novel #2…Persuasion. Just a easy way to slip in another novel throughout my year.
