Fun Literature site of the day:

I just discovered this website that plots what authors are also read by people who read a particular author:

Apparently there are THREE Poppy Z. Brites!

You can find this interesting anomally be entering "Kathe Koja" for author.

Apparently there are THREE Poppy Z. Brites!

Interesting horror premise.

Pretty sure that's a database error.

It looks like its related to how you enter or don't enter the middle initial.

Kevin J. Anderson has similar results.

What is strange is that the three Poppy's are not that close to each other. I think this reflects how she has changed genres over her career.

Fascinating. I think every bookstore should have this set up in kiosk mode. :)
