DailyLit, an online service that delivers installments of books via email or RSS<\/span> feeds, announced on Wednesday a deal with publisher Grove\/Atlantic to serialize House Rules, a thriller by Mike Lawson, ahead of the book\u2019s June 10 publication date.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The deal marks Mamaroneck, N.Y.-based DailyLit\u2019s first new-title deal. The company, which works with publishers that include Chronicle Books, Oxford University Press and Harlequin, as well as a library of open source publications, has in the past distributed books only after their print release date. House Rules\u2014to be released in 139 installments, for $9.95\u2014marks its first title to be released pre-publication, an option DailyLit says can help publishers create hype before a book is released.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For whatever, I love serialized novels, and plan on trying out DailyLit at some point. (Though probably with one of the free offerings.) I know E.J. is skeptical of this format, figuring he (and by extension, most people) would fall behind, and the rss\/e-mail bits would pile up and up until reaching the point when it was like reading the full book, but in e-mails. Which I can see happening—especially with Moby Dick<\/i> or something like that—but I think I’d personally keep on top of it for a new book that I’m getting a chance to read weeks before it’s released. (For instance, I would pay $10 for a serialized version of the 1000+ page 2666<\/i> if the sections started appearing in June . . .)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
