I Write Like James Joyce (?)


I've just been chancing my arm on a new site called I Write Like. The idea is that you paste in a chunk of your own prose, and the software analyses it and tells you which writer's style it most resembles. Being a sceptical soul, I tried it on four blogs from my archives. The system is, if nothing else, consistent; three out of four times it told me that I write like James Joyce (the fourth time I apparently wrote like David Foster Wallace, whom I have never heard of).
Damned it I can see it.
