Looking for something to read?

Published by throwingmarshmallows at 12:34 am under Reading, Fun Stuff

Check out the really neat, fun new tool, Literature Map. You type in the name of a favorite author and a “cloud” of related/similar authors appears. The closer the name is to the chosen author, the more likely you will enjoy them. You can then click on a new author and start following the trail.

Neat idea and after playing around a little bit, it definitely seems to be fairly accurate. Looks like I will have to poke around a bit and see who else I can find.

Thanks to Melissa on the UUHomeschooling email list for the link.

    OMG, this ROCKS!

    It’s like http://www.pandora.com for literature, instead of music.

    Thanks for the link!
