I did a few just to see how off-the-wall it may be or not be.
I got a Cory Doctorow too. BUT....
I got these when I tried some different types of Hubs. (I notice they're selling both a Stephen King book on writing and some Shakespeare book.
)
Stephen King
Leo Tolstoy
Margaret Atwood
David Foster Wallace
Stephen King
H.P. Lovercraft
William Shakespeare
Dan Brown
Cory Doctorow
Leo Tolstoy
I think I'll go with the two Tolstoys and the Shakespeare and call everything else, "inaccurate".
(I may try some real nonsense, bad-grammar, writing and see what happens.) (Shakespeare?)I just tested someone's stuff from the religious forum, and the person got a "Dan Brown". I think the title of the link should be, "I Write About the Same Kind of Stuff That ______________ Writes About." (Oh well.... it was fun anyway.)
I couldn't resist doing one more sample from the religious forum. That person got an Isaac Asimov (and, trust me, that writer is NO Isaac Asimov ). OK. I've seen enough. fun

James Joyce and Stephen King. funny
Too cool! I checked 4 different hubs and had 4 different comparisons. I was hoping to find just one or at least a dominant one - and I only know two of the writers listed.
JK Rowling
David Foster Wallace
Kurt Vonnegut
Charles Dickens
I'm going to check one of my poems...brb
Margaret Atwood - I know I've heard the name before..now I want to check out all these writers.
So I checked my second account. Each hub (18 total) came up with a different famous author
most of whom have already been mentioned. Others, that haven't been mentioned yet:
Edgar Allan Poe
Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes author - I had to look him up. lol)
Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita - had to look him up too)
Just for fun and all, but it does make one wonder and hope...doesn't it?
I write like Stephen King, lololo If only I cold make his money.
Emily Dickinson and Kurt Vonnegut
That was fun I will have to see how many different writing styles I actually have.Ok, how long do I keep trying before I get the author of my choice?

Which is a better book choice to write, non-fiction or fiction?
I am just wondering what would be the most interesting read right now, a non-fiction book on perhaps a how-to topic or a novel of say, the spooky variety? I keep leaning toward non-fiction, but my wife and a few of my friends say the world is too depressing right now so they all want to read...
