At BookPage, we were excited to read about Paul Lewis’s Wilkie Collins project; from now until August 22, you can receive The Woman in White in daily e-mail installations.

DailyLit’s FAQ page provides an example of a typical reading experience:
I am currently reading Dracula, which has 187 installments and I am receiving installments on weekdays, i.e. 5 days/week. So at most it will take me 187/5 = 37 weeks. But when I am on the train or waiting, I often read more than one installment, so I usually wind up reading about 10 installments/week. This means I will finish Dracula in about 19 weeks or 5 months.
Browse their book selection here. And Jane Austen fans can rejoice. P&P, Emma, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abby and Mansfield Park are all available.
I saw that John Grisham’s short story, “Fetching Raymond,” is available. This was my favorite story from Ford County – definitely a good pick for reading online since it won’t take too long.
