 * BookLamp.org matches readers to books through an analysis of writing styles, similar to the way that [|Pandora.com] matches music lovers to new music. Do you like Stephen King’s It, but thought it was too long? BookLamp allows you to find books with a similar level of tone, tense, perspective, action, description, and dialog - while at the same time allowing you to specify details like... half the length. It’s impervious to outside influences - like advertising - that impact socially driven recommendation systems, and isn’t reliant on a large user base to work.
 * VisuWords - Need help with vocabulary? This site is AWESOME! Find definitions, parts of speech, related words, synonyms, etc. Create word webs and print to help you study! I cannot recommend this one enough!

Though some of the links are broken, it is an immense resource of American authors, literature, literary movements, etc.
