Fresh Air - Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jump into the Fire - Harry Nilsson
Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent
Turn and run!
Nothing can stop them,
Around every river and canal their power is growing.
Stamp them out!
We must destroy them,
They infiltrate each city...
I just finished Les Miserables. It took me over 3 months to finish. It's not that much of a story, but Hugo could get extremely preachy and professorial as he filled in the historical gaps and...
In the Wake of Poseidon - King Crimson
If the intent is to understand influence on literature, the third may not just be contiguous. I'd recommend Genesis, Exodus, Both Samuels, Psalms, Proverbs, the Gospels, and Revelation. That should...
First name to leapt to mind when reading this post is Flannery O'Connor. I'm not sure when each of her stories were written but her career started within this date range.
Also, I'd look at Faulkner...
You might want to try something else by Dickens from his earlier works like Oliver Twist or David Copperfield. You might get into the story more quickly and the ground is rich with characters. If...
2. My Funny Valentine - Many artists, Frank Sinatra among them.
My first reaction to the question was Robinson Crusoe (already mentioned).
My second reaction was Pip in Great Expectations, but I can't quite put my finger on why.
I Want it All - Queen
A Day in the Life - The Beatles
2. Nero Wolfe?
3. Doc Savage
5. Hercule Poirot
9. The Green Hornet
20. The Saint
23. Monk
24. Archer
Some tough stuff here, good job.
There's always that theory that room full of chimps with typewriters will eventually produce Hamlet, but not likely.
If I recall correctly, Palm Sunday is a collection of KV's lectures and speeches and not his short stories. Monkey House is the short fiction.
I'm not familiar with The Recognitions. Who wrote it?
I can't speak to the works on the OP's list that I haven't read (Hawthorne, Wolfe, this specific Faulkner, this James). I'll leave Hawthorne...
The frog on page 121 in chapter 17 is a metaphor for man's rise from the primorial ooze...or it's just a frog. Do your homework kid.
Make the Scottish fisherman Cuban and the fish a marlin and it sounds like The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.
For me, Catch 22 is something more than this comment implies. This novel came into popularity in America in the 1960s. It's anti-war and anti-military themes resonated with a generation of...
My Antonia - Willa Cather
Go, Dog, Go - P. D. Eastman
Memories Can't Wait - Talking Heads
4. Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
I'll make a distinction between books that were sad (Of Mice and Men, Great Expectations) and depressing. My winner for most depressing is, by far, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
