I was finally able to set aside an evening to go through the movable type template files and fix many broken links and busted css pages (main thing being those drop down menus on the left side!). Next up is rethinking and implementing proper tags/categories.
Here's some nerdy reading treats making the rounds on the internet.
Jon Udell created the AMAZING LibraryLookup Bookmarklet. Side note: a bookmarklet is a small bit of javascript stored as a URL within a bookmark that can do a range of tasks at the push of a bookmark button (see more on it here). Say you're looking at a book on amazon.com (or bn.com, etc.), you click the bookmarklet and it will search for the book at your local library. Coupled with the online reservation and delivery to your local branch feature that many library systems now have = RIDICULOUS!
For Brooklyn, use "http://catalog.brooklynpubliclibrary.org" as your base URL, "Brooklyn Public Library" or "BPL" as your Library Name, and "Innovative" (top option) as your Vendor. Then "install" your bookmarklet by dragging it to your browser's link toolbar. Note: this system uses ISBN numbers, so your best bet is looking up hardcover versions of books over paperbacks.

DailyLit sends you five minute chunks of public domain books for free via email or RSS feed. Most are classics, but Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture and Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom represent for Creative Commons.
I'm not sure if all these works will lend themselves to a serial format, but it's worth a try. Looks like the creators have been listening to their users and added features like customizing the amplitude/frequency of your subscriptions, "Add next installment to feed right now" buttons, and the ability to preview entire works on the website (preview in installment form).
Top of my list are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (37 Installments), The Devil's Dictionary (79 Installments), Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (37 Installments), and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (51 Installments).
