Name That Book!

This is a puzzle game, dealing only with book titles. The clues should be short, a sentence or two at most. The book should be well known, a best seller, a classic, required reading or something like that, not an obscure volume found lying around. I have shelves full of books that would only have meaning to another collector like myself. Ready now? Let’s go!

Here are four easy ones to start us out:

1.) An angel with a flaming sword points towards the rising sun—

2.) ABCDFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ—

3.) A watch hung from the Eiffel Tower indicates the hour of death

4.) The green eye from a martini arrives at the trauma unit beside a bent lemon slice from another drink—

Have fun! :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

I know this one :) considering the fact that I had to read it for the summer for English class. It's Ella Minnow Pea, right?

An aging portrait

No. Much simpler than that. And a classic. Probably read by more girls than boys.

Well, I THOUGHT I was being simple with my first ones here..... :brow:

I'll give you #3, since it WAS a bestseller, but everyone isn't into James Bond.
A watch hung from the Eiffel Tower indicates the hour of death = High Time To Kill by Ramon Benson.

Now some hints:

On #1.
Where was an angel with a flaming sword posted?
Which direction is the rising sun?
Put them together, not necessarily in that order.

On #2
Which letter can you not see?
Why?

On #4
There are three parts:
What is a green eye from a martini?
What's an abbreveation for a more comman name for "Trauma Unit"?
Add those two.
What do they call the bent piece of lemon in a mixed drink?
Put it all together.

This is a literature forum mes amis!? These are famous books! One of you even uses a sign-on name from one of them! Is frustrating! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/mad/boese028.gif

This is my guess for #4: Oliver Twist

oh I know number 1 I didnt know it wass suppose to be cryptc puzzles :rolleyes: you could have said !!
#1 is east of heaven isnt it??

Is #2 E Block?

How 'bout; an ever angry purple fruit

is East of Heaven right? I would have guessed East of Eden though I never heard of any of these but Oliver Twist.

wait it is east of eden
bah I aklways get eden and heaven mixed up

shea grapes of wrath??

yep!

It disappears with what a hurricane is known for

Vanishing storm??
:D

Nope!.....

ok is vanishing right?
