Abstract
Objective text analysis was performed to compare emotional tone and word usage for 10 romance and 10 adventure novels. Romance novels were more pleasant in emotional tone, they employed more widely used words, and they had more instances of repeated words. There were no significant differences between adventures and romances for word frequency and word activation. The overlap between categories of novels is noted, and the importance of differences among novels in the same category is mentioned and exemplified.
