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

So, I found this on a Library Thing topic: it analyses your text and, based on the words you use and the writing style, it tells you which author's your writing resembles.

I ran it through 14 reviews and this is what I got:

• David Foster Wallace - 4
• Vladimir Nabokov - 2
• Jonathan Swift - 2
• Dan Brown - 2
• Mary Shelley - 1
• James Joyce - 1
• Charles Dickens - 1
• Kurt Vonnegut - 1

I also ran it through some original texts and I ended up with:
(The results are ordered by age of the texts, older ones first)

• Dan Brown (I really need to revise this one :S)
• Vladimir Nabokov
• Anne Rice
• David Foster Wallace 

Now, I never heard of David Foster Wallace, or read anything by him, but after this I will probably try it.

You can try it for your writing here.
