I guessed blindly, didn't even try to think them through, as I recognized none of them. And because I have so frequently had my writing taken for male that I figured there was no point in trying to guess.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I got 50% and it told me that I need to read more books by men.
I got 60% and it said the same thing. I think this is just one big scam to get us to read more books by men.

VS Naipaul, Nicholas Sparks and Salman Rushdie write like women. Neener, neener. Also, their mothers dress them funny.

Because books.
I looked Naipaul up in Wiki and he seems like a real charmer, too.

I got 4 out of 10. But 2 of the 4 I had read already, so I knew the author.

I'd read two of the books but didn't recognize the paragraphs.

Anyhow, I talked myself out of at least three correct answers based not on the texts but on what I thought the test-writers thought I would think of the texts.
Yeah, I did that for a bunch of them too. I hope the test results show that most people think V.S. Naipaul writes like a woman.

I had 7 out of 10. Nicholas Sparks DEFINITELY writes like a woman.
