I Write Like Me

By Professor University of Miami School of Law

Kevin Drum reports that “the internet toy du jour is a site that supposedly analyzes your writing and tells you which famous writer you most resemble.”

So I have to try it. First try, a random blog post, produced this horror:

I write like
Isaac Asimov

(Asimov: good ideas, bad writing.)

Second try, the first three pages from a paper I'm writing produced something even worse:

I write like
H. P. Lovecraft

OK, it's a paper about ICANN, and thus something of a horror show, but even so…

Fortunately, Kevin Drum thinks there's nothing to it.
