A notebook kept by hand for thirty years

Somebody already wrote down the thing you have not said out loud.

She wrote it two hundred years ago, in plain English, and the book is free. I copy one sentence by hand and send you the page.

Check your inbox to confirm, and I will send you the page.
That did not go through. Please try again.

No reading list. No homework.

What you will get

What is on the page

  1. The situation. Who these people are, told for somebody who has never opened the book.
  2. The passage. Set apart, and long enough to work on you.
  3. The reading. Where the sentence stops being about the novel and starts being about your life.
  4. The line underneath. Mine, in my own hand, written as though nobody would see it.
  5. Today. One small thing to do with a pen.

I am still here.

Every passage here is in the public domain. Free everywhere.

Before the first pageConfirmation requested

Check your email

There is a short note from Underlined in your inbox. Open it and click the confirmation link so I know this is where you want the pages sent.

Once you confirm, I can send you the first page: a passage, a reading, and the line I wrote underneath.

A note in the margin

One click, then we turn the page.

P.S. If the note is missing, look in spam, junk, or promotions. It may need a few minutes to find you.

Your place on the mailing list is marked. Thank you for letting a page from my notebook find its way into your day.

Look for the first page in your inbox. You don’t need to have read the book. I’ll tell you who is in the room, what was said, and why I underlined it.

The line underneath

Keep a pen nearby. The next line can be yours.

P.S. There is nothing to prepare before the page arrives. No reading list. No homework.
