anteros_lmc... first lines from the book meme that remain unidentified are:
3. I was in delightful company: the lady who sat facing me across the massive Renaissance fireplace was none other than Venus; she was no demi-mondiane who had taken a pseudonym to wage war upon the masculine sex, but the goddess of love in person. Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher Masoch.
and
6. I first met Dean not long after my wife and I split up. On The Road by Jack Kerouac.
Ok, Venus in Furs is a bit obscure, but there is a clue in the title! I suspect it's better known as the title of a song rather than a book tbh. Perhaps the first line of the song would have been more recognisable:
Shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather
Ahem.
Very impressed that all the others were identified so promptly. You're all right clever clogs aren't you?! :)
