Guest ansgaria Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Based on a forum post where I commented on the similarity between tracks on various albums by Porcupine Tree it said I wrote like David Foster Wallace. I then tried with another forum post in which I was bitching about having to wait 3 years to get a flat in the neighborhood. Then I suddenly write like Stephen King. I have no idea what to make of these results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 hah, which post got you james joyced ? this post-fragment, oddly: "but, seriously, anyone who finishes GR on the first attempt, or says it's a breeze to get through, is just being a twat. It's probably my favorite novel, but it does require a bit of work. There's no shame in reading annotations, either. Every single word is so careful and so wrought with paranoia. . . I'd read it once just for tone and imagery and a general sense of the story, and then do a re-read with some annotations. I know that sounds pretentious as fuck, but it is what it is. . . if you don't want to get lost in GR to that extent then it's just not your kind of book, no harm, no foul. And Vineland. . . it starts out wonderfully, but it doesn't sustain that sense of wonder to the end. It's kind of universally accepted to be not-great. Although I still think there's a lot to like about it. It's also pretty funny. I actually think Against the Day, although massive, is a whole lot easier and more immediately likeable than GR. And Lot 49, obviously, is a great, relatively brief way to see if you like Pynchon. Edit: plus the new one, Inherent Vice, which I haven't read yet, sounds pretty straightforward and likable and funny. " No clue why that would be the case, unless it just picked up on the fragment at the beginning and thought "riverrun", in which case . Aside from the overused ellipses, that was fairly dry, artless writing on my part. There's really nothing Joycean in this in terms of word choice or structure, although my DFW-branded post was an intentional bit of DFW/Pynchon aping on my part(and was shit, mind). I detect the odor of Bullshit; this might work better if you feed it some genuine prose, but the only writing of mine that I have to go on at the mome is message board posts or some dry legal writing from work.
