Who is Chuck Palahniuk?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Palahniuk

The internets. He's pretty good, though generally lesser known. He wrote Fight Club, which was pretty enjoyable, and the inspiration for an equally enjoyable movie coincidentally known as Fight Club (Brad Pitt's and Edward Norton's finest roles, for the most part). He's very gritty and visceral. ;)

I have Chuck Palahnuik for a poem and Cory Doctorow for a novel chapter. I should read something of them, perhaps.

I wonder how this gadget works?

Apparently, I write like James Joyce. And I've never been good with authors so I have no idea who he is. I wonder what type of stuff he writes...

I got J.D. Salinger twice for essays and Isaac Aminov for creative. Funny, I likened myself more to Hemingway and preferred keeping things simple.

actually if you think about it...Asimov all his life wrote in a very simple way......Salinger was more like a joint result of Hemingway and Faulkner.

I analyzed a sample of my writing and it said I write Gertrude Stein....which is very interesting to me because I have never heard of her before.

So, I wanted to try this for all my chapters that have currently been written, so here goes.

chapter one: Arthur Clarke
chapter two: Anne Rice
chapter three: JRR Tokien :D :D
chapter four: JRR Tolkien
chapter five: Harry Harrison
chapter six: Harry Harrison
chapter seven: JRR Tolkien
chapter eight: L Frank Baum
chapter nine: Anne Rice
chapter ten: Dan Brown
chapter eleven: JRR Tolkien
chapter twelve: Margaret Atwood
chapter thirteen: Oscar Wilde
chapter fourteen: HP Lovecraft
chapter fifteen: Anne Rice
chapter sixteen: Anne Rice
chapter seventeen: Daniel Defoe

What seems to be apparent is that the chapters that most the chapters that have not been rewritten yet are getting Tolkien (who i aspire to be most like) and Rice. All my rewritten chapters seem to be getting different authors... :? not a bad line up though, some decent ones in there.

What seems to be apparent, is that it is quite accurate, i pasted in the first chapters of LOTR -FOTR and Harry Potter -Philosopher's Stone and they were both correct. I'm not quite sure how the engine they use can analyse work like that, but it is very good!
Not many remember how life there began, in the lands amidst surrounding walls of stone and pools of deep darkness, but whilst they forget the secrets of the past, they begin to riddle the future with their growing lust for knowledge, greatness and power.
