scratches head
I do love a puzzle, but I'm not doing so well. I could swear that I know the answers to 11 and 19 but it just isn't being accepted.
Edit: I'll try a few more things. Darn 30 second wrong answer cooldown!

I wish I could turn off that 30 second thing. Remember, some books have articles as the first word

Not your fault! :)
I love movies/books so this is a fun quiz regardless. No idea why I'm not getting 11. I must be waaaay off.
Arrrrrg, thanks for the hint. "The" was getting me. Back to Lit 101 with me!

Now I am really curious what you are thinking. I'll just have to be patient.

I got number 11 with the word "the" at the beginning. I tend to skip around puzzles and try and knock out the easy ones first.

Solved - 11 (good book) Yaaaay!
The rest is too hard for me :P
Edit: Got 10 too! Also good

It's fun seeing the remaining solutions trickle in the shared puzzles, and how clever the hints turned out to be.

I'll admit this one might be the cruelest of them all.
Comment has been collapsed.
for the 'E' maybe it is just supposed to be a generic letter?
Dear Letter? Umm....Elk Letter? Bah!

I was also trying these combos:
- Weiner Dog, dachshund
- Toilet, flush
- Silver, mask
Comment has been collapsed.
I just got it, it sure was a tricky one! :D
"Long" from you and "Silver" from OldManAtari did help.

Nice, good job :)
I just went by reverse image results, already have a burnout from the other group puzzle thats active right now :P

Question 14.
"In the end it’s all about Neo.
Prime the thespian before."
thespian = actor/actress, relating to drama/theatre
End, New, Prepare, Before...
Comment has been collapsed.
Prime = First ; a state or time of greatest strength, vigor, or success in a person's life
Neo = Young (Greek) ; character in The Matrix
Edit: Ignore me, I was doing this puzzle late and on little sleep. I saw the hint about another question being related to a movie, yet it somehow didn't register with me that this puzzle was strictly for books after going through the other ongoing group puzzle.. ; A ;
Tried:
The Matrix
Keanu Reeves
Keanu Charles Reeves
Thomas A. Anderson
The One
Hamlet / Romeo and Juliet / Mercutio / Damn Yankees (Reeves did some theatrical work when he was young, these were the ones I could find)
Manitoba Theatre Centre
The Matrix Theatre Company
Matrix Theatre
Ode to Happiness
Shadows
Speed

Keanu Reeves was also in "Much Ado About Nothing", but that didn't work either.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it might be referring to a title that ends in an anagram of neo, so I've been looking for books ending in 'one', 'eon' etc that either have anagrams of thespian before that or actor. So far nothing. But I think the focus should be more on the letters than on keanu and the matrix.

Question 17.
"I am graceful, and, partly, by the sound of it, I live beneath a jealous roof."
Jealous roof? Envy, Gable.
SOLVED

Question 18.
"Think about it first. I am well suited for battle."
Armo(u)r?

Bumping, we still have a few to go!
1 , 14, and 18 at the time of writing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I glanced through, but since I don't know or read too many books (how did I ever read The Count of Monte Cristo... unabridged the answer was slowly over many months, but I still enjoyed it) I probably won't get too many. 11 was pretty amusing to get, but they might all be if you know the title.

Yea, I did books because it is a real passion of mine, but I am now working on one for video games too.

The hint didn't help me at all. I just hadn't thought of using "mist" before. Once I had "e+mist", it just clicked.
Comment has been collapsed.
I had thought of "breath," "smoke," "exhale," etc., but not "mist." I even convinced myself it was "Thank You for Smoking" by Christopher Buckley for a while...
Good job! :D

I was toying with the same idea, after I googled lists of books that were more well known as movies. But I couldn't see how the clue lead to 'club', obviously the battle part tied into 'fight'. Oh well you beat me to the punch either way.

I think I tried Fight Club....just to another question :P

You guys are great! Congratulations!
Next time I was thinking either doing one where I list all the hints in the discussion and everyone can try to solve there, eliminating ITH's typing format.
I will definitely be doing a video game one, but these take time! I have a lot more books ones, so I could do another one of these.
I'll let you guys choose!
GA is attached, level 1 and up though, sorry.
