There’s been a recent flourishing of newsletters that deliver well known literature to your inbox. Dracula Daily was one of the first, because every entry in that novel is dated, it runs from May to November every year. But most of them (like Moby Dick’s Whale Weekly, and Dante’s Divine Comedy), seem to have one time start dates and if you didn’t get in at the beginning then your only option is to catch up by reading past entries.

Is there a central resource where I can find upcoming releases?

    I have the exact same question. I missed Whale Weekly by a lot, and same with Les Mis Letters. I hope some of these repeat once they’re through.

      I have actually made my own with scheduled emails. It’s the Iliad over the course of a year with the 24 cantos coming once every 2 weeks. Starting in January, I’d be happy to add your email to the send schedule.

    I’ve decided to do a little Substack book club for Jane Austen’s novels, none of which I ever got around to reading. Pride and Prejudice starts 1/8/2024, emails are one chapter twice weekly, and I figured I’d do a poll to choose the next book toward the end of this one (that’s presuming anyone’s interested besides myself and my mom).
    I know in theory that I could just tell myself to read a chapter of the book a day, but I loved getting the installments of Dracula in my inbox, and I loved knowing that other people were reading along.
