One of my favorite things about typeracer is seeing the source of the text, so I added it here. This doesn't work for all books, since some of the cached versions aren't compatible with this method (see http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/521/pg521.txt and http://www.gutenberg.org/files/521/521.txt). I'm guessing that has to be the case to avoid the captcha, though.

This is very cool. Thanks for sending it. I've played with it and just had a couple of comments - would definitely like to have it in the script.

Thanks! It should be working now, and I also made the title/author show up after finishing the text. It does seem to be the more standard way of doing it.
