Read at Work
Read at Work is a website full of stories ranging from short ones to classic which you can read while at work. Now the cool part is that the interface of the site is designed to look like you are working so when you enter the site it launches in full screen and resembles Windows XP. Then when you find a story you like it will open up in what looks like a powerpoint presentation. That way you could read your story while pretending you are flipping through a presentation. Its brilliant! [Link]

Not much of a selection though :(
Highly recommend “Happy Prince” by Oscar Wilde.
As much as it is a clever idea…. and I will definately start to read at work… it sort of annoyed me….!!!
one word…. GENIUS
PS: do you know another one where there is flash games lol?
emmm its a nice idea , but what if we don’t use power point at work ? ;) plus, am not so interested with reading stories at work ;P
Awesome!!! I Love it
WaW I just love it,,,,, specialy that Iam a story lover…even it have a few choises but I think it’s all i want during my boring computer lecture…
they should do a similar site for facebook
I like that it launches a full screen fake xp.
But i found it impossible to actually read a book. The slides are way too fancy and the font size keeps changing. Powerpoint isn’t exactly the best way to read anything that isn’t in point form.
