Gee, I think #11 just might be Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkein. :)

You win the Itchy Trigger Finger Award® ! ;)

[etantvert]

Heh. Thanks.

Is #3 A Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein?

[johncomic]

Got it in one, Red-Hot... :)

1) [Warning: I can't put my hands on this book for the time being, so this first one is quoted from memory -- if my inaccuracy throws you, I crave your forgiveness]: "Hey, Mouse! Play us something!"

No idea.

However, given your interests and background I'm going to extrapolate that this is the opening of the comic novel Maus, which I have never read.

I don't think that any of the characters in Maus are actually named "Mouse." I'm thinking of Ladyhawk, myself.

[johncomic]

Also nope. :)

[johncomic]

Nice try, and I follow your reasoning... but nope. :)

#2 - the correct answer is Watchmen, by Alan Moore; the quote attributable to Rohrschach's journal from (I think) October 1, 1985.

The above referenced entirely from memory ;]

[johncomic]

October 12... close enough [along with nailing everything else bang on] to entitle you to this:

Damb yer good! :)

[scoreboard]

Rohrschach was the role model for my tech support work ;]

I'm going to guess #4 is "Caves of Steel", by Isaac Asimov. I could go downstairs and pull it out of the box, but I'm too lazy.

[johncomic]

Interesting guess, but nope. Wrong book and wrong author. [Some of you playing at home may have detected an extremely subtle clue there...]
