The Coven

This is so fun :P You put in an author's name and the site will generate a “literature map”—the closer the names of two writers are, the more likely that someone will like both of them. I tried Martha Grimes (names closest: Minette Walters and Noah Gordon), Jasper Fforde (Tananarive Due and Lewis Carrol!) and Mary Doria Russell (Geoff Ryman, Jonathan Lethem). What an interesting way to get to know different authors! (Thanks to Adam and Elephant Still Missing for the link!)
