I'd heard of 36 plots before this, but didn't realise it had all started with Polti's book. Thanks for the link.
My own idea, when I first read a character in a book referring to there being 'only 36 plots', was that perhaps this was a Shakespearian reference - since the ol' Avonian wrote approximately that many plays. I say approximately, of course, because I am too circumspect (or too cowardly) to claim absolute knowledge, when battles over the attribution of works like <I>The two gentlemen of Verona</I> or <I>The two noble kinsmen</I> still raise much sound and fury.
I also enjoyed the detail on the 'eight plots for plays'. Ta.
