BookLamp - "The Pandora of Books"
It's gone live.
From a piece in Paste...
Booklamp.org went live earlier today, offering a free service similar to the wildly popular Pandora Internet radio service, but for books.
The story of BookLamp, the brainchild of 29-year-old Aaron Stanton, began back in 2003 when he and other students at the University of Idaho put together what they called the Book Genome Project. Similar to the Pandora-originating Music Genome Project, the Book Genome Project breaks down a literary work to analyze the style of writing, which they refer to as Language DNA, and assign numerical values to what they refer to as Story DNA: a breakdown of the settings and actors in any given scene.
