Check out this website that finds read-alike authors for you. Just type in the name of an author you like, and the literature map brings up a very cool-looking graphic display of similar authors. You may not agree with every suggestion, but it’s one more way to find out about new authors you might like. For instance, when I put in Terry Pratchett, the two closest names were Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and Neil Gaiman (Coraline, Interworld). If you want to explore one of the names that are brought up, just click on it, and that author becomes the focus of a new web.
