The disorder in the RSS

Let no man who is not a Mathematician read the elements of my work.

The disorder in the MSS. [The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci, 3]

There are now a few websites that took books from eg Project Gutenberg and re-presented them in a page-a-day format on a weblog or via RSS. Examples: Joyce's Ulysses (from Jason White), Joyce's Finnegans Wake (from Michael Brewster), The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci (from Matt Webb), and what's perhaps the grand-daddy of the form, Samuel Pepys's Diary (from Phil Gyford, which now has 13,000+ annotations). There's something interesting about seeing pages placed next to each other in a newsreader. This next to that, here and now: random correspondences, connections, comparisons. A tiny example this weekend (if you're on FW p14 and U p28) of Joyce's use of dates:

566 A.D. At this time it fell out that a brazenlockt damsel grieved (sobralasolas!) because that Puppette her minion was ravisht of her by the ogre Puropeus Pious. Bloody wars in Ballyaughacleeagh-bally.
1132. A.D. ... [FW, 14]

--I forget the place, sir. 279 B. C.
--Asculum, Stephen said, glancing at the name and date in the gorescarred book. [U, 28]

So... there will obviously be a huge number of these "correspondences" (particularly if you're looking for them), but perhaps there's mileage in going further, in remixing people's books and notebooks, or at least in providing a pick-any-X-books service to make a DIY RSS page-a-day feed.
