Bacon.js w/Express (Node.js) and MongoDB

WAT

A simple web application that returns book information given a title. Uses MongoDB, Express, and Bacon.js. Simply issue HTTP requests to /books/:title and, assuming we find a match, get back some JSON.

WHY

Really, I just wanted to see what it felt like to build a web application using Express and Bacon.js. I'm probably doing it wrong, but, whatever.

SETUP

1. install mongo and run it
2. npm install
3. npm run-script seed
4. npm start
5. curl http://localhost:3001/books/The%20Hobbit
