Possibilities

Stephen Wenlock ran the titles of Jane Austen’s novels through the Lulu Book Title Analyzer.

Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility apparently each have a 59.3% chance of being best-sellers, with Emma only a little way behind at 45.6%. That young lady will go far.

That’s a nifty little app. We ran a couple of our proposed titles through it *cough* and came up with an abysmal 10.2 percent score. But then, so did The DaVinci Code. Oh well, obviously some things can’t be quantified. ;-)

<geek>And we were unaware that the founder of Red Hat is also the founder of Lulu!</geek>
