I love literature-map.com, but I always find myself needing to correct people's claims of what it actually represents. Literature Map's only claim is that people who
like A, will often
like X, Y, and Z. It is not about finding
similar authors at all (although that might happen accidentally as well). The closer the authors are to the one you entered, the more likely you will like both. Nothing more, nothing less. It is the readers that turn out to be similar. Not necessarily the authors. From the site:

It is based on Gnooks, Gnod's literature recommendation system. The more people like an author and another author, the closer together these two authors will move on the Literature-Map.
