Is no. 8 (view spoiler)[Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis? (hide spoiler)]

And no. 23 (view spoiler)[Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck? (hide spoiler)]

LOL I like this! 😁

I don't have the answers, lol! I did guess the same for #23 and didn't have a clue on #8 so I'll take your answer as "word". :-D Feel free to guess aloud as I did below. ;-)

#5 The Grapes of Wrath
#14 1984

Oh yes, #5 but I just don't get #14!

That one borrowed from Sixteen Candles, an American movie from the '80s that she starred in. So just subtract that from year 2000 (Y2K).

It was actually my favorite clue! (of the ones I figured out, haha)

#19 Hunchback of Notre Dame

Oh right! Thank you Reggia - I wasn't sure who she was!😊

#20 must be Brave New Planet

My guess would be Brave New World. And I believe that #8 is actually The Prince of Tides.

I'm sure that #1 is The Old Man and the Sea. I have a pretty good idea of the answers to all or most of the rest, too, but (mindful of Reggia's injunction) I'll stop here for now. :-)

I'll keep track of the guesses here.

Oops! yes, of course, I meant Brave New World thx for fixing!

...was thinking of doing this, but thanks so much for taking up the task, and including the link for each book as well -- great!

You're welcome, Reggia! :-)

Well, since no one else has hazarded a guess for well over a week (closer to two), I'll venture three more:
#2 --A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
#3 --The Scarlet Letter
#4 --As I Lay Dying

#9 Great Expectations
#15 Crime and Punishment
#17 For Whom the Bell Tolls

#21 - Treasure Island

#22 A Tale of Two Cities

#6 --War and Peace
#7 --Gone with the Wind
#10 --Pride and Prejudice

#12 To Kill a Mockingbird
#13 A Farewell to Arms

#24 Red Badge of Courage

#11 Catcher in the Rye
#25 The Sun Also Rises

We need someone to solve the last two, #s 16 & 18 -- any takers to help us out?

#16 is The Sound and the Fury, and #18 is Lord of the Flies.

Lord of the Flies, of course! Thanks for your contributions, Werner. Hope you all had as much fun with this as me! :-)
