This is obviously a cheeky/fun project, but I'll just take a moment to be pedantic and point out that literature is entirely the wrong domain for this sort of tool. A litany of literary information is encoded in the superfluous: authorial idiosyncrasies, period styles, the intended regional locale of the characters, the anticipated reading level of the audience/familiarity with the material, meaning at the linguistic level ('meta' narrative).
While I think this tool has a great deal of potential application in domains like technical documents, texting (or other forms of communication that lend themselves to brevity) etc. I don't think literature falls into that camp.
