>73)
>The Divine Comedy?
Right. Saint Bernard takes over from Beatrice for the last stretch, and appeals to the Virgin Mary.

>>23012029

>44 is Hausman I think. The Were-wolf
Correct. Clemence Houseman (A. E. Houseman's sister, or cousin, or something. She was a bit weird. Prolly a lesbian.) The monster is a female werewolf called White Fell. She's a beautiful woman who seduces men then devours them. But of course the faithful doggo is not deceived and can see (smell) she's really a wolf.

>54 is from peter rabbit lel
Sort of. It's Beatrix Potter, yes, but it's The Tale of Samuel Whiskers. Tom Kitten goes wandering and encounters this rat (called S.W.). S.W. & his wife wrap Tom in pastry intending to eat him.

>>22743431

>60 — car crash
>The Thanksgiving talk and crash vaguely makes me think Athur Millers Death of a Salesman, the dad/salesman
Right. Willy Loman.


>86 — bomb [something of a trick question]
>I'm not sure but PKD is on the author list and Ubik has a bomb and that would be a tricky case like you said given the weird ass way things unfold after the bomb.
Sensible guess, but it isn't Ubik (or any other PKD). It's that sort of thing, though — i.e. it's a moot point exactly what the character's last words are.

>>22642109

>21 - Memories, Dreams, Reflections by Jung.
Correct. John Boorman.

>I guess it's an interesting book to bring with you. Realistically he's one of those authors whose collected works you'd want.
Yes, in quite a few of these the celebrity asked for the complete works. Not this one though.


>91 - Dune.
Correct. Charlotte Rampling. An oddball one.

>>22481634
>23
>You must follow me carefully...
>The inventor of the time machine in HG wells’ “the time machine” … don’t remember if he had a name or not
Correct, and I don't think he does. He's just called "The Time Traveller".

>>22381172
>56 - Psalm 146:3.
Correct.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

>>21749326
>the one about buying animals is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep/Blade Runner PKD
Correct. The fake/real animals thing is a huge part of the book but wasn't in the film at all.

>and whatsisname
Ridley Scott

>he did Gladiator, too
And Alien, among others. (He's in this quiz three times.)

>>21677242
>11 is TSATF
Correct. Now we just need someone to match it up.

>>21614390
>31 - Captain Blood

>>21614413
>25 - Treasure Island

>>21614475
>52 - The three musketeers

All correct. Even if these are all different anons, no-one is going to mind even a part-share in best Girl Kurisu.

>The Strong Man is Mightiest Alone
>Mein Kampf

>>21530124
>9)
>The Five-o'clock Express

All correct. Translated works can be harder since people might have read slightly different phrasings.

A goodly haul here, for sure. Some have already been solved by others but a lot haven't.

4, 12, 13, 21, 37, 45, 48, 56, 57, 62, 72, 79, 91, 95, 98 - Already solved

>8 - Henry James - The Portrait of a Lady
Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.

>14 - Thomas Pynchon - Gravity's Rainbow
A screaming comes across the sky.

>19 - George Eliot - Middlemarch
Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress.

>22 - David Markson - Wittgenstein's Mistress
In the beginning, sometimes I left messages in the street.

>46 - Marcel Proust - Swann's Way
For a long time I used to go to bed early.

>55 - William Wordsworth - Daffodils
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er dales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils.

>61 - William Makepeace Thackeray - Vanity Fair
While the present century was in its teens, and on one sunshiny morning in June, there drove up to the great iron gate of Miss Pinkerton's academy for young ladies, on Chiswick Mall, a large family coach, with two fat horses in blazing harness, driven by a fat coachman in a three-cornered hat and wig, at the rate of four miles an hour.

>63 - Joseph Heller - Something Happened
I get the willies when I see closed doors.

This is the saddest story I have ever heard.

>83 - Charlotte Brontë - Jane Eyre
There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

>93 - William Gaddis - JR
Money — in a voice that rustled.

>>21281562

>95. Waiting for Godot
Correct.

>11. Master and Margarita
Wrong country. This one's tough, I think.

>36. Notes from the underground
Right country, wrong book.

I just noticed, my "translated" list is incomplete. #60 is translated too. Oh well, better late than never.

>Are you English btw
I'm a citizen of 4chan.

>lad?
Like everyone else here, I'm actually a cute girl.

>This quiz and the last seems to be very UK writers heavy.
This week has about 40 UK authors, 40 USA, 20 miscellaneous. Some would call that UK-heavy. Some would call it USA-heavy. Some would certainly call it Anglophone-heavy, but I only use books I've read, so what can you do?

I haven't kept statistics but I assume the geographic breakdown stays roughly the same from week to week. I might go and check, just for fun. (It might also be interesting to see how much author overlap there is.)

>>20399555
4, 53, 76 correct. 99 isn't Monte Cristo. It describes pretty closely the book overall, not just one scene.

Trips ought to get an animated gif I guess but I don't have any more so you'll have to make do with Best Girl Kurisu.

>>19985383
Sure is. T.P. and Benjy getting smashed in the cellar at Caddy's wedding. Poor Benjy. He was confused even BEFORE the sarsaparilla.

>>19798044
Sure is. Can't forget that cesspoolful of rotting monsters.
