For me, that is half the fun of owning a paper copy of a good book. Oh the joy of reading and rereading one’s favorite books untill the pages literally fall from the binding like ripened fruit to nourish the soul.

Just a little fun and games. ; ) And as for the digital books--I never loved a CD case like I love my books. For me, the texture of a book in my hands is part of the reading experience, the dog-eared favorite pages, the bloody smashed mosquito on page 97 . . . It was easy to switch to an iPod. Not so with these Kindle-y-Nook thingies. In fact, I don't think I'll ever switch over. Don’t worry, Marilynn, I don’t take myself THAT seriously. Just a little fun and games. ; )

She inserted some of her own work and didn't get her own name as an answer. I inserted Mark Twain, and he proved to write like Mark Twain. The site appears to concentrate more on vocabulary than style to make the comparison so I wouldn't take its results seriously. I doubt even a much more complex bit of software could analyze style with any degree of success. Margaret Atwood doesn’t write like Margaret Atwood according to this website.
