7. Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut.

Is 3 Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury? I really don't remember.

Bugger, I've read 7 and 10 but didn't recognise them - disappointing, given how ill-read I am.

I'm at work and having difficulty re-editing the initial post due to our slow internet connection. I'll edit it later but all the answers so far have been correct, I think it leaves only number 9.

I'll try and add some others later and, clearly, need to make them harder.

Nice quiz, IP.
