A quick quiz about books. All of the below are noteworthy for some reason. Please name the reason (it's a different reason in every case).
1. Something to Answer For by P. H. Newby
2. Not A Wake by Mike Keith
3. Codex Leicester by Leonardo da Vinci - Most expensive book at auction (pdurrant). Bought by Bill Gates (bonus for Kumabjorn)
4. A Void by Georges Perec - A book containing no 'e's (pdurrant)
5. Table Alphabeticall by Robert Cowdrey - First alphabetically arranged dictionary of English (pdurrant)
pdurrant - 3 pts
Kumabjorn - 1 pt
The remaining two are quite tricky, so I'll give you a clue to number 2. It's opening lines are;
Now I fall, a tired suburbian in liquid under the trees,
Drifting alongside forests simmering red in the twilight over Europe
Think numbers!
