There's a really unique new way to search for new authors to read. If you check out this spiffy new link you'll find a map of literary similarities. Searching for an author on the Literature-Map will bring up a diagram showing links to other authors. How close they are to the author in the center will show you how likely it is for someone who likes the center author to also like the linked author.
It's simple, fun, and a handy way to find new fun things to read. :)
