7. is Gaiman. A Game of You?

1. is, I think, Possession. I never finished reading it, because I lost the book somewhere (and by lost I mean, lent to someone and never got back)... but I kind of love the movie...

9. I have no idea, because it reminds me of Howard's End, but it can't be, cuz, ya know, Jerome and e-mails.

9 is actually supposed to be a RETELLING of HE (or so claims some reviewer), so you might be a genius or sth ;) I haven't read HE yet, but it's on my shortlist.

And you're very much right about the other two. (Yay, I was sort of embarrassed about Sandman not getting guessed yet.)

Well, not a genius, since I still don't know what book it might be, but lol.

I was surprised no one guessed Sandman :D

I checked online HE, and it indeed starts with pretty much the same phrase. I'll need to read it now...
