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?

3 out of four, and I'll give you full credit on #1 so you get a HAT TRICK! Sorry, #11 is still wrong, think Ann Rand.

More nannners for XC! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :thumbs_up

Down to two means MAJOR HINTS!

"We ain't dead..." The Book is by Ann Rand and starts We

Reminiscing Thinking about long lost things that have been. That should do it. :D :cool:

Haven't you got any other fruit? I'm allergic to bananas. They make me :rage:

11 We the living - by Ayn Rand

Not Ann Rand, who writes children's books.

Quite so. I rechecked my sheves of booklists. Unfortunately, I deleted the answers to the list when I typed it and have been having to look them up myself! :blush:

I trust you aren't alergic to pocorn, XC?
