Better Summer Reading through Technology, 2007
by St. Clair Carr, literary editor, NEW IMPROVED HEAD

Five years ago we introduced our amazing advanced book review compression technology, which was able to assess the value of any fictional or biographical literary work by analyzing only its first two paragraphs! However, we weren’t content to stop there. Three years ago we introduced Literator™ 2.0, book review compression software which was able to assess the worth of any of a wider range of works work by analyzing only its first sentence!

But wait – we weren’t done yet. Our new software, Literator Optimus™ 3.1, uses sophisticated book review algorithms to deduce the worth of a book from its title alone! But, you may be saying, no book review software – not even the latest member of the Literator™ family – could possibly do that! But we think you’ll change your mind after you read the following reviews, all produced by Literator Optimus™ 3.1! They’re all of books which you might choose for summer reading, and in only a minute or two Literator Optimus™ 3.1 will tell you which of them are worth taking to the beach.
