Handicapping the Great 20th Century Novels

Brandon, who runs the blog antimodal, has created a little application that "handicaps" the great 20th century novels. It allows you to assign scores for different features, like "stream of consciousness," and themes, like the "Black experience." The scores enable you to promote or penalize a book based on these different characteristics. Note that you can add additional categories to the ones already listed by pressing the "Add New Category" button at the top of the page. In Brandon's words, "The book list is still a work in progress. I am not familiar with many of the books there, so if you have information that would help classify a book, let me know." Check it out.
