What I was looking to crack were books. I would imagine that cracking them wouldn't be to hard because the probability of repeating letters in the English language is very predictable. I havn't done any cracking before, but I do know a little about encryption, and that would be quite interesting, and it would help me learn a lot about encryption. Also, I guess cracking would depend on how big the key is that the book is encrypted with.
