Hitler writes like Mary Shelly, the site says.
She wrote Frankenstein - a story about a man who was dead inside, or a dead man who was alive.
That kind of makes sense.

I think it's fair to say this is a load of bollox just like the look a like finder. I pasted in a few posts I made in the big brother thread and got Leo Tolstoy.:D

Shouldn't that have been George Orwell?

Denerick

Apparantly I write like H.P. Lovecraft.

Who?

WindSock

James Fenimore Cooper. (Googled, he wrote Last of the Mohicans)

Then cropped it and got Mario Puzo - (Godfather)

Cropped it again and got Dan Brown :pac:

I've read Dunphy's book and I'm am extremely confident that it is his own material i.e. it is complete waffle and full of incorrect opinions that are without any grounding.

AnonoBoy

Raymond Chandler bitches!

I'm hard-boiled.

Saibh

First post I tried got Bram Stoker. Tried another post - Chuck Palahniuk.

Knifey Spoony

I got David Foster Wallace. This guy seems to be very popular amongst us boardies. Maybe he gets inspiration for his style from reading our posts.

He hung himself a few years back.

I got H.G. Wells

RolandIRL

Chuck Palahniuk, apparently.

KnifeWRENCH

Copied a post from my blog and got Arthur C. Clarke. Tried a few boards posts and got Stephen King, James Joyce, Harry Harrison (who?) and Dan Brown *shudders*

This really seems to be a pile of bollocks. Mildly fun bollocks though.

Superbus

With

"trololololololololololololoolololololololololololo...'

I got Neil Gaiman, which if it's pronounced as I think it might be, is a pretty unfortunate name.

TheIrishGrover

Bobby Sands

W.Shakes-Beer

I write similar to Ian Fleming apparently.

Obviously did read AH then.

I got Dan Brown from one post and Stephen King from another, the pinnacles of literary genius.

Sharpshooter

He feels it, and he stops dead.

Something wasn't quite right, he let's out a breath trying to keep it quiet.

Just to his left, he see's them, now what?

He's alone, and at that instant he realises they have seen him too.

So I write like:

Never heard of Stephenie Meyer

I'm more into James Patterson.:mad:

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Kurt Vonnegut!

Delira with my stira I am!

alwaysadub

Stephanie Meyer wrote the Twilight books, SS

Adyx

I put in a few paragraphs explaining indexed sequential files I wrote for an essay in college and also got Dan Brown :mad:. If that's the kind of boring **** he writes about, I'm glad I never read any of his books.

Edit: A different paragraph from the same essay gives David Foster Wallace also. Obviously I just copy everyone else.

kerash

I got David Foster Wallace

It's pretty dumb
