I'mNotDedalus Spits In Your Jar, a scandalous 14.6%! Hey, I thought sex always sells. Ha!
And because ya’ll knew I had to:
Ulysses = 72.5%
Finnegans Wake = 72.5% (Difficult to classify on that site, so I used Joyce’s own literal meaning of the title: figurative proper noun & verb)
We can finally all agree: Joyce was ahead of his time. Now start reading him, you monkeys! (20.1%)

"Fun with Razor Ribbon" - 20.1% "Torture Camps for Dummies" - 20.1% (guess Bush Jr. and company may as well not bother) "Al Fresco: Strange Things I Have Eaten" - 55.4% "Fodor's Guide to Speedtraps" - 14.6% (I might buy this one) "The Complete History of Something" - 10.2% (I shouldn't be shocked)

The sample size used to create the model seems awfully small for such a humongous data space. That is, the number of possible titles is practically infinite but the number of titles used to make this system is only 700. I would have used at least twice that number and tested the system on the other half of the data. I didn't know info on book titles was so scarce. (To be fair, I didn't read the details of how the model was constructed.)

I guess if I want to write a story I should write it about me. No, now that I think of it that probably isn't the best of ideas... I'll write it about talking ducks, Mad Magazine and tranvestites.

Then she could have pointy kitties on her show. If she also invites Tom Cruise, will he squash them when he jumps on the couch? That would be good, I think.
