Five Minute Emailed Book Reflection

I chose to have the book, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, emailed to me daily through dripread.com.  Currently, I’ve received and read 30 of 264 emails.  One thing I like about reading a book this way is that I don’t have to devote a long period of time to reading a book.  With the demands of taking care of a newborn, reading a book for pleasure is difficult to do.  I also like the ease of receiving the book through email.  I don’t even have to download the text, as it appears directly in the body of the email.  However, a drawback to this method of reading is that the plot can become somewhat choppy.  Also, it can be difficult to remember what I read the day before because I only read a small portion of the book.  Some days I re-read the previous day’s email or waited and combined several days’ reading into one session.  Also, because I’m only reading five minutes of text a day, it will take me months to finish one book.  Overall, I am enjoying the experience as something new I tried.  Whether or not I’ll read another book this way is still undecided.
