Two out of three ain’t bad:

>#96
>Emmy
>Amelia Sedley weeps a lot throughout the course of Thackeray's Vanity Fair

No, but it is a bit like him I guess now I think about it.

4/4 here to get the ball rolling:

>25
>Catch-22
Correct.
>(seemingly ever-present in these quizzes)
Didn’t think it was that frequent. It hasn't been in the last four or five at least, has it?

>30 — bit of a shot in the dark here, but this feels like Faulkner. Surely one of the major novels, maybe Absalom?
Correct. Charles explaining to Henry about the elite New Orleans courtesans.

>53... Siddhartha?
Right.

>This is The Sot-Weed Factor
Right. Only the first third of the list, but you have to stop somewhere.

>(but I'm pissed I couldn't find Joyce...)
