Russell Beattie Notebook - Serialized eBooks via RSS

Ever wanted to read a classic but you don't have the time? Have time to read your RSS feeds because they're short and "quick"?

Try Russ's new "Serialized eBooks via RSS" feed service that will feed up a daily page of a classic book. All URL based, at least until someone does a quick front end for it, so you kinda need to know what you're doing but it's easy enough once you do.

It should be interesting to see how popular this is. Personally, I think it's great, although I can see some issues. For instance, is a page enough to be able to keep track of what you're reading? Especially since you're only starting with a page? Might be interesting if the first hit returned, say, 10 RSS items just to get things rolling.
