>[38] 0 Es in Gadsby (Ernest Vincent Wright)
Right. Everyone thinks of ‘La Disparition’ as ‘the’ E-free novel but that's a bit unfair given this one came first.
>[70] 9 5/12 Years covered(?) by Samuel Pepys’ Diary
Correct. SP’s diary goes through all of 1660-68 and then just Jan-May of 1669.
Just the 20 & 70 in that section still to get. (I expect the 20 to go first.)
>[26] is probably from the Autobiography of Alice B Toklas by Getrude Stein
Reasonable conjecture . . .
>but I'm not sure of the specifics
We know what the ‘A’ means but it’s a fairly obscure quotation.
>[66] is of course The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, perhaps someone else can fill that out I haven't read it
That section is still mostly undone but #69 has been found which helps to identify what sort of excess we’re after.

>Guesses
Both good guesses.
>39. Aretino, from the Ragionamenti
The dialogue with Nanna, the courtesan (obviously). One of the three main career choices, beside nun and wife.
>62. Boccaccio (Decameron somewhere then).
8th day, 1st story. A married woman charges a guy 200 gold florins to sleep with her, so he borrows 200 gold florins from her husband without her knowledge, gives it to her, sleeps with her, and then tells her husband he repaid it to her. Chaucer stole the idea for the Canterbury Tales (the Shipman's Tale).
