A better way to do this is to format with the columns indicating the chapters (rather than arbitrary flow based layout).
Pride and Prejudice, Collins
Emma, Churchill
Sense and Sensibility, Willoughby

The chapter-based flows are better, and it makes the adjacent columns less arbitrary. I wonder (1) whether no white space between paras wouldn't be better and/or (2) whether each paragraph shouldn't be the same vertical length.

Reminds me of a visualization tool that Paul Over here at NIST wrote several years ago, called beadplots, for comparing search rankings. Each document in the ranking got an individually-patterned bead. I love that tool.

Looks really interesting! Of course, I wonder how exactly you are creating those things, and what tool(s) you are using?

Very interesting! How do you do this? I use R, http://www.r-project.org, for my data analysis.

Definetly remember beadplots. See http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/beadplot/
