Obviously the ones that include character names are pretty easy, and there's clearly enough of a crossover between our libraries to make a lot of them recognisable to me. I may well continue this meme over at my place.<br /><br />Anyhoo, the ones I got...<br /><br />1. 1984 (George Orwell)<br />2. A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess)<br />4. Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring (JRR Tolkien)<br />7. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson)<br />9. Slaughterhouse 5 (Kurt Vonnegut)<br />10. To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)<br />11. I knew this line, but I had to google it to discover the book, so I won't post the answer.<br />12. Farenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury)<br />13. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams)<br />18. Not read it, but guessing it's Wind in The Willows?<br />21. Catch-22 (Joseph Heller)<br />22. See 11.<br />23. Lord of The Flies (William Golding)<br />25. The Man in The High Castle (PKD)Jim Blisshttp://numero57.net/noreply@blogger.com
