I loved 'Rendevous with Rama' - Might be difficult to recreate photographically!

No Shakespeare! (unless you uncover a novel that Bacon wrote for him...)
Close to where I live is a place called Russian Village, on the Pomperaug river in Southbury CT. |

I should think both count as classics of the Graphic Novel genre, myself :-) |

any novel by Kurt Vonnegut
of course, if you're concerned about score, you want to make a non-controversial choice.
frankly, though, this isn't the most literary crowd. I think they'll just believe you if you say your novel is a classic. |

Seriously, have you got Italian origins?
For Italy I'd say Divine Comedy (Dante), Decamerone (Boccaccio), Orlando Furioso - The frenzy of Orlando (Ariosto), The mistress of the inn (Goldoni), The Bethroted - I promessi sposi (Manzoni), The tartar steppe (Buzzati), The late Mattia Pascal (Pirandello), The name of the Rose (Eco), everything written by Italo Calvino. |

Yes, seriously I do. My mother is half Italian, and my father is full Italian (though I have yet to meet him... Long story).

| I'm going with a novel we studied in high school, which means that now I can't read it without automatically sitting through grade 10 and Mrs Kelly's voice grating away, making us analyze the book in detail and ruining all its subtleties. Still a damn good book, even if I did kinda sorta speed-read it on the Kindle last night :-) A prop or two might be interesting to get hold of, but if I can, I'm golden. |

| Every genre has its classics. Even Westerns. Think Zane Gray, and (don't think too hard) Louis L'Amour. |
