"Today in Literature features a new original biographical story each calendar day about the great writers, books, and events in literary history.

Our articles are supplemented with links to recommended websites where you will find author biographies, electronic texts, reviews, quotes and other reference materials of interest to avid readers, members of book clubs, students, and teachers.

We are in the process of expanding the website, and will soon offer selected poems, quotations, and new essays for many of the authors profiled in our archive."

No; for mine just google "hal9000report." Yeah, this is a great site. You can sign up, and they'll e-mail you an article every day.

I went on this site only to discover that if you wanted to read the rest of the information you have to pay a $30.00/month fee. I was bummed to say the least. You'd think that a website spouting intellectual knowledge, not peddling porn would be nice enough to had it over for free. Isn't that what they have colleges for?
