You know that "who do I write like?" meme?

Evidently James Joyce writes like James Fenimore Cooper. (Although the other authors I tested evidently write like themselves.)

I took two of my most recent longer blog posts, and ran them through the test. According to them, I write like Mario Puzo, by which I conclude that mentioning Italians means you write like an Italian writer.

Indeed. When I stuck my almost word for word Joyce pastiche into the meme, it came out as Dan Brown.

Apparently, Joyce would write more like Brown if his viewpoint characters were beholders and not Dubliners.
