Cory Doctorow - How about Little Brother?
I'm hitting send next installment a LOT with this so far! Got to agree with juv3nal though, nearly a couple of pages explaining with LARPing is is a bit excessive.
Non-Fiction Books - In need of more diversity and depth?
Agreed here too.
Here's a couple of suggestions:
Free as in Freedom: http://oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/
Age of Reason - Thomas Paine
Free for All - Peter Wayner
Hacker Crackdown - Bruce Sterling
Ideas - Organize by length
Great idea, I signed up for a few and reailsed they are in 300+ parts! A few quick reads to kill idle moments at the office would be great.
Ideas - A listing of recently added titles
Indeed would be good to have. Looking forward to it.
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom - WDITOT?
Thoroughly enjoyed it and found myself hitting the "send next installment now" at the bottom of each email far too much.
Book Requests - Free as in Freedom - by Richard Stallman
Author: Richard Stallman
Title: Free as in Freedom
URL: http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/
License: GNU Free Documention license
Copied review: Free as in Freedom interweaves biographical snapshots of GNU project founder Richard Stallman with the political, social and economic history of the free software movement. It examines Stallman's unique personality and how that personality has been at turns a driving force and a drawback in terms of the movement's overall success.

Book Requests - Accelerando
I third it. Will be great to see more CC licensed books on DailyLit.
Book Requests - Agent to the Stars
Agent to the Stars by John Scalzi is available free on his website:

Would be great to add it to DailyLit, but he hasn't mentioned the licensing other than saying he is giving it for free.
