If you can read your email, you can read a kickass novel. May I recommend Jane Eyre to start?

DailyLit will send tasty digital snacks of public domain books to you. You can specify segments every day, just weekdays, or M/W/F via email or RSS. Neat, right? Each installment should take about 5 minutes to read. Surely you can fit that in between watching this on YouTube and getting snarky with GoFugYourself (but let’s be real… how totally awesome is Steve Perry in that photo?!).

I just signed up for The Moonstone, a book about which I know nothing except that it was written by Wilkie Collins, the author of The Woman In White, which is considered one of the first mystery novels in the history of literature. If you haven’t read it, check it out! The mystery is unraveled through the accounts of multiple characters. Each character moves the story along and provides his or her own perspective of the events. It’s spooky and offers insight into the social mores of the mid-1800s in England, which were racier and more filled with treachery than you might think.

Anyway, back to DailyLit. You can search for titles by author, book title, or ~~- my favorite -~~ category. Adventure! Romance! Mystery! Feeling a yearning for Shakespeare? They’ve got it. Or how ‘bout a crime thriller from Joseph
Conrad. And, yes… there’s always Jane Eyre.

The best book ever. Ever.

Ever.
