摘要：

Various literature writings are compared by the ''rank distance'', d, between two word frequency Zipf plots introduced by S. Havlin (Physica A 216 (1995) 148). We studied 22 books written by six authors. For this ensemble of books we find that the mean distance between books written by the same authors ([d] = 15.2 +/- 2.6) is considerably smaller than that between books written by different authors ([d] = 21.8 +/- 3.2), in good agreement with earlier results on a smaller sample of books. Our results suggest that the distribution of the rank difference of the same words in different books decays exponentially.
