You get one every day and then click at the bottom of the page to get sent the next installment immediately. I've been reading George Eliot's Middlemarch this way on the job for a month. I'm almost done. It's not as fancy as readatwork, but it works. OK, Daily Lit works differently in that it emails you the book in mini-chapters.

Or have a buddy (ahem) who writes and likes you to read her work. The key is to find the sites that are in plain text with no illustrations, and alt-tab is your friend.

(the Excel versions).... jacqueline, I got in trouble one time for studying spanish at work. At a job where it was necessary to know spanish. At a job where I was paid to take spanish classes. At a job where I was done with my daily tasks. This explains self-employment, I guess.... :) ck, perhaps this will be a calling for you? (the Excel versions)….

The second day I brought a book because there was nothing to do when I was sitting there... and I was let go. The woman, a horrible control freak, said I was getting paid to answer the phone not read. Ahhh the life of a temp.
