Literature Map is a site similar to Pandora that generates author suggestions based similarities between an author of your choosing and other writers. According to the map, "the closer two writers are, the more likely someone will like both of them. ." It's just about the coolest thing I've seen in a while. And it works waaaaayyyy better than Whatshouldireadnext.com. The have a music map too, which is also very cool.
