There, that is more respectable, even if some of his politics were a bit dodgy.
Consistently male I suppose, but then I did a bit of cheating and found that Emily Bronte writes like James Fenimore Cooper, George Eliot writes like Charles Dickens as does Thomas Hardy, Thackeray and, I suspect, most 19th Century English novelists. Let's go earlier. Mary Shelly writes like Mary Shelly, but Laurence Sterne writes like Robert Louis Stevenson. Daniel Defoe has the style of Jane Austen. A little more populist perhaps, Agatha Christie writes like Arthur Conan Doyle. Oh well, so it goes ...

Great! I write too like Kurt Vonnegut (don't know) and Dan Brown (don't like). I wanted to post my "I write like" post as well some time ago but I awlays postponed it 'til I forgot it :)
