His plots, pacing, and storytelling were great, but his wording is painful and plodding sometimes.

I like his stories, but you're right. You can only hear "cyclopian" so many times and not cringe. That and you can only read Herbert West installments about 3 times in a row and not get annoyed by the recaps.

Not to mention his "subtle" racism.

Because science (and boredom) demanded it:

Laz:  Dan Brown

DK:  Dan Brown

Lamanite:  Chuck Palahniuk (i don't know who that is)

MOC:  Dan Brown

and of course, Mr. AKK:  James Joyce

So far, I've gotten Raymond Chandler (journal), Margaret Atwood (poetry), Oscar Wilde (poetry), JK Rowling (fiction), Mark Twain (essays), and Kurt Vonnegut (essays).

Palahniuk wrote the books Fightclub and Choke, which were both turned into movies.

One of my essays dealing with gender roles translated to english got the result as James Joyce.

Not sure that is a compliment.

I'm starting to think that we all draw from similar literary influences. Or that this search is very limited. For example, I've read Stoker, but never Defoe.

Ive never read Joyce =/

An interesting experiment id like to execute, is to post essays or posts from TCC or other places to see which authors come up (other than Dan Brown, that is).

I don't need to do this.

I have always acknowledged that I bite hard on the styles of Ellis, Thompson, Mencken, and Twain.

Considering Ellis swiped from Thompson who swiped from Mencken who swiped from Twain, I don't feel the least bit embarrassed about this.

It told me Dan Brown for the majority of my submissions.  I'll just do the world a favor and quit writing.

I'm becoming suspicious of the algorithm here.  It's good for a laugh, but can't possibly be complex enough.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:
