Default Sparknote Harvester

Just an idea for a bot I had that would be useful to me. A program that automatically harvests all of the sparknote information for a book.

My ideas on how to have it work: goes to the index url, one such as:
SparkNotes: Hamlet

Then after that you all the links between "<div class="alphaBox">" and "<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">". Then have it visit each url and harvest the main text and put it together as one string and save it as a .txt file.

Just a thought, I might work on it. Posted so some people can maybe have input, I'm doing some other stuff now so it might be a while.
