5-minute Daily Lit Reading activity


When I originally began my Daily Lit installments, I originally chose to read Grimm's Fairy Tales, but I was not really captivated by it so I came across The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and had decided to read that book because I've never read the original. I read a little bit of that book every day during my lunch breaks and sometimes at home on the weekends. This book was made available in 43 installments through DailyLit and at this point I am on installment  29/43. The chapter I’m currently on is about the Winged Monkeys and they have carried Dorothy away with them.
I have enjoyed the convenience of reading Daily Lit because it has assisted me to read for pleasure during my lunch breaks. Another reason I like this site is because it sends the installments that are short, sweet, and not as daunting as reading a whole book. I say that because I am not an avid reader and with the short passages provided daily I am not overwhelmed, thus not feeling the urge to put the book aside and forget about it.
I’m excited to finish this book and then, just for fun, I’d like to watch the old movie to compare the similarities and differences between the book and the film, both long lasting classics.
