11 - "the lozenge plot"

[farmercuerden]

...I'll let that pass, though it's actually called The Mountebanks.

12 - D&D Player's Guide

[anonymous]

1. Monstrous Regiment

12. Possibly the D&D PHB 3.5E?

The rest are a mystery. - Attilla

[farmercuerden]

3.0 edition, but close enough.

#1 - Monstrous Regiment, Terry Pratchett.

#8 - argh, can't remember the title. Set in a world where every word of Shakespeare is true.

#10 - The Alchemist, Ben Jonson

#8 is Blue Moon Rising. have we converted you to the cult of Simon Green?

[farmercuerden]

Hmm. Does reading eight books of his in the last week count? (Blue Moon Rising, the Six Hawk and Fisher books, and Beyond the Blue Moon)

[soleta]

I was talking to Low, but okay, yeah, we got you too ;)

[omegaboot]

#8 - familiar, but I recall not.

#9 - Lawrence of Arabia?

[omegaboot]

Ah, thanks sol. (re: #8)

[farmercuerden]

Nope. Though you're in the right Georgraphical region.

[farmercuerden]

More or less, anyway.

So I got that #2 is by W. S. Gilbert. I'm now stuck seeing as it's not a song and thus not from one of the operas.

[farmercuerden]

I'll let it pass. Bab Ballads. While we're at it. Reinder's been talking a lot about Glen Cook, so he's more-or-less gotten Sweet Silver Blues.
