9. That is quite amazing.

I checked out several of my many favorite authors and the groupings seemed pretty good. Interestingly enough, one of my all time favorites, a Canadian writer name of Andrew Pyper only has two other authors who show up on his map, and neither one is very close.

But this could be a very useful tool, especially for someone who is a lot younger and simply hasn't read as much. I know that I will tend to glom on to a particular writer and work my way through much of that person's oeuvre. Often when I'm recommending books to others I'll recommend by other somewhat more than by individual book.
