>[88] 10,000,000,000,000,185.15 -> this is “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” (Robert A. Heinlein)
It is.
>perhaps “Money Paid” or “Mike’s Prank” but I’m not sure which S T it’s for.
You're pretty much there. Let's see if someone can fill in the details.
>[98] 1132 -> is likely Finnegans Wake,
It's certainly possible; JJ is in the author list and not yet claimed.
>I haven’t read it
No-one has read it.
>so hopefully someone else can tell me what M B P is.
Maybe someone will put the ball in the net.
>[84] 500 Sheets of Paper in a Ream.
Correct. I expected this to be found first and provide the clue for #83, actually..
>This is a rather oblique connection to the Pickwick “Papers”
Well 85-86 are worse since they use "letters" with two different meanings, but they got found. I regret nothing.
>trying to puzzle out what G stands for. God? Great? Games?
The ‘G’ section is the last remaining with no answers isn’t it? Not surprising. Two or three are very tricky and none is what I would call ‘common knowledge’. Still, some are reasonably attackable.
>also I’m sure there’s some reference to the Solaris I’m missing.
Well SL did write other things, but Solaris is his most famous for sure.

3/5 here:

>Hazlitt from The English Comic Writers Lectures, first of the series
Right. ‘On Wit And Humour’ is the title of the essay.
>#9
>I'm guessing that this is Henry James
Nope. A long maximalist sentence, yes, but unlike HJ (don’t @ me, Jamesians) it's actually fun to read. It's a work of fiction from someone much better known for non-fiction.
>#13
>Gardner, Grendel
Correct. Grendel hovering around outside the banquet hall trying to work out what’s going on.
>#16
>Brings Gubbinal, Wallace Stevens to mind fwr, but this isn't him
>pushes a button
>Probably Anne Sexton
Correct. ‘Hurry Up Please It’s Time’, from ‘The Death Notebooks’.
>17
>>newspapers
>Beckett's Molloy?
Nope. The emotion is a bit too raw and unironic for SB, I think. This one has already been found: Cormac McCarthy, ‘Suttree’.

>I think this is Crime and Punishment when she finds her father dead.
RIght, Dostoevsky. Sonia is basically the archetypal "soulful prostitute" that Nabokov disliked so much.
>12)
>Revelations
>Whore of Babylon
Correct. John the Divine being the author.
>13)
>Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I think
The Hitch-Hiker series, yes, although the specific book is Life, The Universe And Everything.
>28
>Is this Gilgamesh getting his future friend laid?
Correct. The "unknown author" entry. Gotta tame the wild man before you can befriend him.
>52)
>Bible Joshua and Jericho
Right. Rahab being the prostitute in question of course. Not sure she's so admirable (betraying her own people) but then again, Dante puts her in heaven, so who am I to argue?
