This is my final post before my two-week vacation...so I'll leave you with a cool link provided to me by an anonymous friend. Here is a description of what you'll find:
Welcome to the ArcaMax Book Club. We offer the largest collection of free classic books by email. Sign up to as many classic books as you want. For each subscription, you'll receive the full text free by e-mail -- one chapter per day. You'll also get weekly updates of the newest books.
Personally, I am not sure I could read Dracula by email! But for plays, poetry, and short stories, this seems like a viable format. It also is a way to check out classics you're unfamiliar with.
The site has some fun features, too -- forums and quizzes. Take this one to test your knowledge of poetry! (I'm pretty sure I will stink; I've never been good at pulling quotes out of my arse.)
Happy reading in the meantime! See you soon!
A splendiforous smorgasbordial smattering of ideas to promote literature, literacy and all things literary.

Suggestions for Spain reading?
Next week I'll be Spain and Morocco. Not a moment too soon. I feel like a marathon runner on her last lap.
I'm so frazzled I can't even focus on which book I'll take with me for travel reading. So, I thought I'd ask you, my industrious blog readers, for suggestions.
The thing is, the book must be light to carry. (Not light to read necessarily!) I will be packing as little as possible, as I will be taking at least 4 flights during my visit, plus a train ride or car drive.
I ordered Beau Geste, in hopes of it being delivered before I leave. Don't you think that would be an interesting book to read?
Any other ideas? Many thanks! I look forward to posting pix and info about my trip.
