Robert Louis Stevenson. :thumbs up


Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer. His best-known books include Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 30 most translated authors in the world, just below Charles Dickens. He has been greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Marcel Schwob, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie,[3] and G. K. Chesterton, who said of him that he "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins.''

I had it analyze 16 samples of my writing, varying in length from two paragraphs to five, and these are the results:

lovecraft 4
doctorow 3
clarke 2
wallace 2

all others 1:
james fenimore cooper
dan brown
william gibson
jon swift
asimov

Does anyone dare find a continuum of writing style in those four writers? :)
