literary references in QAF

Hello!

As we all know there are some literary references in QAF, like Brian’s take on Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” or his quote “Had we but world enough, and time” from “To His Coy Mistress”. So I was wondering if anybody knows if all this literary references are collected somewhere? If not, can you think of anything more than the two I already mentioned? Maybe we can put together a list?

Thanks! :)

You're right. It's never quite explained why he is so well educated. I love that about him. Intelligence and education is sexy.

He likes reading. there're many scenes showing him reading. His work also requires good use with words.
