I had to try it.

Yeah, I've been playing with I Write Like.

Based on a sample of my dissertation:

I write like
David Foster Wallace

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

This post about a bunch of random stuff also got that result. I'm reminded that I have not read Infinite Jest, some some of his essays.


Based on this post about tasing old ladies:

I write like
William Gibson

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

Which reminds me that I've only ever read a few pages of Neuromancer.


This thought for the day got:

I write like
Isaac Asimov

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

(though it says you should enter at least a few paragraphs for "reliable" results). Which reminds me that I've never read the Foundation books (I've only read a few of his short stories).


And my rant about Dollhouse got:

I write like
Arthur C. Clarke

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

Ah, 2001. Again, I am reminded that I have not read things it seems like I should have read (I've also never seen the film).


I'm just glad none of them came up Stephanie Meyer.
