How can I normalize mRNA samples for sequencing?

Is there an easy, inexpensive, not too labor intensive way to normalise mRNA samples so that even though one loses information of gene expression levels, each of the transcripts in the transcriptome is equally represented in the sample for sequencing? This is to say, one has a uniform distribution of transcripts, so that the lowly-expressed transcripts still have a good chance of being sequenced.



I have seen a few papers mentioning protocols for mRNA normalization, but I can't tell if any of them are practical in real life wet lab situations.
