Thanks, Ian! The three that I was clueless on were Proust, Steinbeck, and Brontë, and Whitman was a stretch. I have read works from only six of the remaining authors, but Dante & Stoker are fairly omnipresent in other media.
Alright, I get Dickens, Dante, Christie, Tolkien, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck, Stoker, and E. Bronte, but the rest I’m clueless. Maybe because I’ve never read any of the other authors?
@ Downpuppy (5) – I did get to the end of the first page, but had no clue what it was supposed to be saying, and then I discovered that it kept on going … for another forty-three pages (of highly refined drivel). Sorry, it’s not that poem that is “bonkers”, in this case it is clearly the poet that has a problem.
He could have used a marijuana leaf to represent leaves of “grass”.
I think Tolkien and Whitman are the wrong way round – the leaf should be in Tolkien for “Leaf by Niggle” and the rubber band currently in the Tolkien book stands for Whitman’s “I am large, I contain multitudes”, which is sort of the point of rubber bands.

Whitman? That leaf doesn’t look like grass.
Leaves of Grass is a bonkers poem. Grass has blades, the leaves are, well, read it ;

That’s not corn in Steinbeck’s book
