I should know 1, but I don't...

2 is Persuasion, 3 is Strong Poison, and 5 is The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Woo! You're on a roll today :D. You probably know 4 too. It's the only book here that isn't yet a classic.

Wild guess on 4... Gangs of New York? I don't know who wrote it, or even if it is a book, but that's my guess and I'm sticking with it. ;)

[rose_in_shadow]

Nope :). It's, um, considerably farther back in history than that story *hint hint*.

[faenlhin]

Hmmm. The Red Badge of Courage? Not sure who wrote that one either.

[rose_in_shadow]

Nope. Think ancient history... though I don't know if you've read the book so it might not be fair. :D
