You score hits with the owl, the Britannica, the formarium and the badgers. The pike is actually a salmon. Definitive list from pp 28/29 of my Fontana Paperbacks edition: Corkindrill (1) Brown books in leather bindings (1000s) Stuffed birds, popinjays, maggot-pies, kingfishers, peacocks with all their feathers but two, tiny birds like beetles, one reputed phoenix. Fox's mask with 'Grafton, Buckingham to Daventry, 2 hrs 20 mins' written under it (1) 40-lb salmon with 'Awe, 43 mins' written under it. Basilisk with 'Crowhurst Otter Hounds' written under it in Roman print Boars' tusks (several) Claws of tigers and libbards mounted in symmetrical patterns Head of Ovis Poli Live grass snakes in a kind of aquarium (6) Nests of solitary wasp nicely set up in a glass cylinder (some) Ordinary beehive with inhabitants going in and out of the window (1) Young hedgehogs in cotton wool (2) Badgers (2) Boxes containing stick caterpillars (20) Boxes containing puss-moth caterpillars (6) An oleander worth sixpence A guncase with all sorts of weapons not yet invented A rod box with all sorts of rods not yet invented A chest of drawers full of salmon flies tied by Merlyn himself Another chest whose drawers were labelled Mandragora, Mandrake, Old Man's Beard etc Turkey feathers and goose quills for making pens (1 bunch) Astrolabe (1) Pairs of boots (12) Purse nets (12) Rabbit wires (36) Corkscrews (12) Ants' nests between two glass plates (some) Ink bottles of every possible colour Darning needles (number unspecified) Gold medal for best scholar at Winchester (1) Recorders (4 or 5) Nest of field mice all alive-o (1) Skulls (2) Cut glass, Venetian glass, Bristol glass (plenty) Bottle of Mastic varnish (1) Satsuma and cloisonne china (some) 14th edn. of Encyclopaedia Britannica, marred by the sensationalism of its popular plates (1 set) Watercolour paintbox (1) Oil paintbox (1) Globes of the known world (3) Fossils (a few) Stuffed head of a cameleopard (1) Pismires (6) Glass retorts with cauldrons, bunsen burners etc (some) Cigarette cards depicting wildfowl by Peter Scott (complete set) Tawny owl which said in a doubtful voice "There is no owl" (1) Notes by MRG: I think a corkindrill is something like a cockatrice or basilisk, but I'm not sure. Katherine? Popinjays are sort of bird-looking feathered targets which you shoot at with arrows or tilt at with spears, I believe. And by extension, a over-dressed person. Maggot-pies is presumably an old name for magpies. The Grafton is a hunt, which presumably chased the fox for 2 hrs 20 mins. A fox's mask is its face, stuffed. Loch Awe is in Scotland. I find it hard to believe that Crowhurst Otter Hounds actually killed a basilisk, as (a) it is a mythical beast and (b) one glance from it turns hounds (and people) to stone. Libbard is an old name for leopard. What is Ovis Poli? I assume that rabbit wires are snares for trapping rabbits. Winchester is one of the most expensive schools in England. I would have called Mastic a sealant rather than a varnish - perhaps they make both? A camelopard (sic?) is an old name for a giraffe. What are pismires?

I'm too far behind on work to actually go and double-check, but I don't remember any mention of _TSITS_ [hey, in Russian, that would be a palindrome] in Orwell's collected essays, reviews and letters. On the other hand there *were* numerous mentions of other books that clearly influenced _1984_, in particular Zamiatin's _We_ and Burnham's _The Managerial Revolution_; so I would tend to think that there woulda been some mention of _TSITS_ too if that had been an influence. The biggest sources for _1984_ were non-literary: the realities of fascism and Communism for the political structure; the doublethink Orwell noticed among his fellow leftists (eg, dictatorship is bad in Germany, good in Russia) for the mental aspects; the grim realities of daily life in 1940s Britain for the grim realities of daily life in 1980s Oceania; and so on.

Take a look, if you're curious. I own 35 of those 90 albums, and think I "rejected" 16 others. Which means that I haven't heard 39 out of the decade's (allegedly) most important 90 albums? Ouch. It's pretty obvious that Spin took a different approach than we would -- it was a case of them getting together and cooperatively deciding on the albums which had the most impact on music's '90s direction, which, when viewed together, would best portray the spectrum of important '90s sounds. It's not a list of simply the "best" albums. Which doesn't really bother me, but this is worth pointing out. Then again, if they *were* taking the "impact" approach, I wonder about a few missing items. Like, say, Guided by Voices' Bee Thousand, Sonic Youth's Goo, Blur's Parklife, Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque or A Catholic Education, something by the Flaming Lips, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, something by Spiritualized, Beth Orton's Trailer Park, Billy Bragg/Wilco's Mermaid Avenue or Wilco's Being There, Elastica's debut, Jeff Buckley's Grace (definitely!), perhaps Moby's Everything is Wrong instead of Play, Oasis' Definitely Maybe, the Pumpkins' Mellon Collie...but never mind.
