This web site is kind of fun -- www.iwl.me -- you paste in a sample of your writing and it tells you which famous (or not-so-famous) author your writing style most resembles.
I don't know how reliable it is, though; I tried it several times with different bits of text and got David Foster Wallace, Chuck Pahlaniuk, Agatha Christie and Stephen King. Then, just for fun, I typed in this sentence: "The big brown fox jumped slowly over the recumbent zebra." The result? James Joyce.

The conclusion to a recent client memo produced David Foster Wallace.
Great. I write like a depressed novelist who hung himself when he was the same age I am. Better than writing like Edgar Allen Poe, I suppose. Last edited by Zat0pek : 07-15-2010 at 11:31 AM.

Yeah, it produces some strange results. I stuck in a chunk of text from Hunter S. Thompson and got Stephen King. I stuck in some Stephen King and got (again) David Foster Wallace. I put in some David Foster Wallace and got James Fenimore Cooper. Finally, when I put in a bit of James Fenimore Cooper I got ...
James Fenimore Cooper. Ah well, for what it's worth...
