Thanks -- I hope your daughter finds the site useful and fun! And thanks for your suggestions, too!


I'm delighted you like it! I should have bookmarking up and running sometime this weekend. Thanks!


Hi there -- I appreciate your interest! The book you requested has been added to the site. There's plans to add a progress tracking feature in the very near future, but for the mean time you can skip through pages using the arrows at the bottom of the screen, or with the arrow keys. Kind of a pain in your case in particular since chapters in Ulysses can run well over 100 pages in length, but there you have it.


When I was first learning how to touch type, I found practicing to be an incredibly boring experience. So to keep myself entertained and engaged, I'd grab books off my reading list and type them out in a word processor. Sure beat typing drills or replaying Typing of the Dead for the nth time.

I figure others might appreciate not being bored to death while learning to type, so I put together this handy website where you can type up entire classic (aka public domain) books like Frankenstein or Sherlock Holmes.

Have fun, and let me know what you think!
