It looks like I have two perfect novels to check out-- I haven't read the first two on your list. And I love the movie and driving-song lists in particular.

Agree with To Kill A Mockingbird.
Add Total Exlipse of the Heart to the song list.

How about the quotation, "How am not myself?"?

I would add The Who's "Love Reign o'er Me" to the driving song list, because it's so dramatic.

So my question is, is Emma more perfect than Pride and Prejudice? I might have to break up with you if you get this wrong.
