I have found great value in the website, Delanceyplace.com. I signed up with them and get a short but very thought provoking excerpt from a book every morning in my inbox.

Since I signed up with them I've ended up reading over 10 books I wouldn't have normally read, just because of the excerpts.The website describes themselves by saying: "Delanceyplace is very simply a brief daily email with an excerpt or quote we view as interesting or noteworthy, offered with commentary to provide context. There is no theme, except that most excerpts will come from a non-fiction work, primarily historical in focus, and will occasionally be controversial. Finally, we hope that the selections will resonate beyond the subject of the book from which they were excerpted."

I recommend this site and find the 45 seconds it takes to read the excerpt to be a very pleasant treat.
