TextArc

How about looking at a text intead of reading it? This is what TextArc does - feed it a text and it will produce a combination of the index, concordance and summary. Some of the samples on the site are pretty stunning - like Alice in Wonderland or Hamlet. Presumably, this can help to uncover the idden strucures and meanings of texts. No sure about that, or whether playing with TextArc will qualify as reading a text. Probably not but it's still fun.
