It is. The whole "driving round the monument" thing feels a bit weird. Faulkner said that he was trying to make an allegory of the post-bellum South but admitted it didn't really work. I agree with him; it doesn't.

>70 is Anna Karenina
Right. L & K = Levin & Kitty, although of course they each have three or four other names as per usual in Russian novels.

That's funny, I didn't get that at all. I mean it makes sense when put like that, but I often find with Faulkner that his characters are so well realized that any attempt to turn them into allegories often falls flat: it's so in character for Benjy that I didn't really think much of it.

The film is pretty close to the book except that the film's ending suggests more PTSD. The book is narrated by Ed (Jon Voight) and at the end he's basically not too guilty about what they did, and he says Lewis is a good guy, which he is.

Nope. This one has already been ID'd; it's Slaughterhouse Five.

Indeed, there can be only one Poe.

Correct.

[Anonymous No.23450444]

>>23450436
Yeah. I immediately recognized that Pym one.
Fun fact did you know both Lovecraft and Melville said it was a direct influence for Mountains of Madness and Moby Dick despite it being one of Poe's comedic works and neither one being comedic.

No but it doesn't surprise me. Poe was amazingly influential. Everyone copied him, whether parodying or not.

Correct. Pip & Estella. Quite tricky I thought since it sounds fairly nondescript.

Right, although someone else already got it.

Only halfway through actually but I want to guess : Shogun? T and I would fit for Toranaga and Ishido and the other initials have a match.

Of those unanswered,

36 & 51
should be the easiest for /lit/,

4
should be the easiest for people too young for /lit/,

61 & 64
should be the easiest for people who went to school in the USA or UK, and

38
is probably highest on the list of core canon works.


ERRATA:
#66 should be marked [*].

Right. Saint Bernard takes over from Beatrice for the last stretch, and appeals to the Virgin Mary.

I should actually read Bond novels. This is like the third quiz or so I've recognized one as some kind of Bond book but not the specific one.
