"The body of all written works including books is literature. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature
"Literature is commonly classified as having two major forms—fiction and non-fiction—and two major techniques—poetry and prose."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose
"Prose is a form of language which applies ordinary grammatical structure and natural flow of speech rather than rhythmic structure (as in traditional poetry)."

"In the philosophy of language, a natural language (or ordinary language) is any language which arises in an unpremeditated fashion as the result of the innate facility for language possessed by the human intellect."
The answer is no, since the text did not come from human intellect but computer programming; they can't be classified as books.
- Thrall 14y agoIf you go looking for overly specific definitions of words in natural language, which is effectively defined by its usage, any conclusions you draw from these 'definitions' will be flawed at best. Obtaining your fundamental definitions from selected lines in wikipedia adds bias as well as inaccuracies. Also, even assuming your definitions were reasonable, you fail to explore the possibility that his books are poetry.
- jebblue 14y agoWiki articles can be maintained by anyone, feel free to correct/improve the ones I referenced. I did not fail to consider the poetry route, I ignored it because poetry comes from human emotion and human feeling.
