Subject: Data mining of books and films

I've invented a way to categorize and search for books and movies by hundreds of plots, setting, theme, and character traits. Each plot element is weighted so one can express plots in degrees--how much is a book really about a murder mystery, and how much is it really about a romance subplot. By enabling search using literary elements, one can find books with kinds of plots or characters that one would like from authors that one may not be aware of.

You can check it out at www.allreaders.com . We have over a million visitors per month using our unique method of book and movie search.
