Name That Book!

As I cannot believe no one got #6 I'll give it to you:

#6 Sounds like masculine addition

Ergo = Man Plus by Fredrick Pohl

Thus ends Baker's Dozen #8 :lol: :lol: :lol: :nod:

Perhaps the finest line in the best book this author ever wrote.

2.) Sounds like a land offer near Gallows Hill in this haunted New England town = Salem's Lot by Stephen King

3.) The glow from the bar in a haunted hotel = The Shining by Stephen King

4.) This detective might have been called “Quiet John”.

5.) Estupido

6.) The crystal clear dude = The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells

7.) King David mourns his son

Bonus Question:
They stomp a lot of grapes in this Berg in a state that’s high in the middle and round on both ends!

Actually, you only got one right. But two others fit the clues so I bow to the logic, I should give clues that can fit more than one book to a T. The other, well, the book is in the list, but you put it under the wrong clue, so no dice. That gives you a HAT TRICK. Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

You get #6, #8, and #13

For #6 I really wanted Faust
For #8 I really wanted Of Human Bondage :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmm. Apparently, Scher's Christmas present for me is more appropriate than I'd hoped--my aim needs work.

I think you mean Faust for number 8 and Of Human Bondage for number 13. Incidentally, Ralph Ellison wrote a book titled Invisible Man (no "The"), in case you're interested.

I'm guessing, then, that The Shining is for #3, then?

Hadn't posted a Baker's dozen in a while, no. I reminded them of your puzzle, which no one has figured out, including myself. As for "Ick and Yuck" on Stephen King, I make these lists from computer generated bestseller lists and famous novels. If I used my own bookshelf, you can be sure King would NOT appear. I can't stand him either! :D

To be sure!
Has a Ticket = A Passage
To the subcontinent = To India
Ergo = A Passage to India by E.M. Forster

Well, I finally made one either too hard or too obscure, and having votes for this as a favorite game, I must resolve this, so hint city, here we come!

#1.) Think Bates
#3.) What's another word for "glow"?
#4.) Quite John's first name is John and he was created by Algeron Blackwood
#5.) In plain English, such a person is the villiage __________.
#7.) King David had a favorite son whom he mourned over by name.
#8.) Would memorbilia help?
#11.) A famous document starts, "We the people..." Now if these aren't dead?
#12.) No one knows this guy and he's lost. He's a ________.in a______ _____.

The bonus question I'll give you, as I consider the writer deadly dull. It's Wineburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson, who is actually buried in Round Hill Cemetary about 500 yards from my own family's plots (grandfather, grandmother, etc.) His cabin/home, Ripshin, is close to my dad-in-law's land, and I've been there. Pictures of hime on the main street of marion hang in our library. Whoo! ;)
