On Comparability

In my ceaseless search for new and better ways to waste time, I happened upon Geoffrey Philip's blog post about the I Write Like website.  This seems like something fun and pointless, but there's no way they can peg me by just one poem or Short Story, right?  So, keeping that in mind, I went for multiple results.


I write like
Vladimir Nabokov

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!




Got this one for the latest in my Rainy Season Series.   Nabokov's the guy who wrote Lolita.  I've never actually read Lolita, or any othe Nabokov work, so I'll withhold my judgement.


I write like
Ursula K. Le Guin

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!




This one was from one of my recent favorites, also from Rainy Season.  Its becoming clear to me that this isn't going to work out quite as I expected.

Another recent favorite. Again, no idea who this David Foster Wallace guy is but apparently he hung himself in 2008. Isn't that special!


I write like
Charles Dickens

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!




FINALLY someone I actually recognize. This for The Fortunate End of Jonas Black. Awesome. Who do you write like?
