Novel Sites
Love to read? You’ve come to the right place.
Have books delivered electronically (many of them for free) in small, easy-to-read installments to wherever you receive e-mail: your computer or even your PDA.
Keep track of what you’ve read and share recommendations with other members of this book lovers’ networking site.
Type in the name of a favorite author and you’ll get a “map of literature,” a host of writers arrayed around your pick. The idea: The closer a name is to your favorite, the greater the likelihood that you’ll enjoy that author’s work.
Sign up for this online swap, make your selections, and in exchange for an equivalent number of your used books (plus a minimal shipping fee), the books will be delivered to your door. Keep them or, when you’re finished, send them back and another shipment of your picks will arrive. Repeat as often as you wish.
When you’ve turned the last page and don’t quite know what to read next, go to this site, which will tell you exactly that. Type in the name of a book you enjoyed and you’ll get back a list of books to try.
What to do with all those books once you’ve read them? Join this site, which facilitates donating used books — and DVDs and CDs — to troops deployed overseas.
