Christopher Nolan's 2014 grand scale science-fiction story about time and space, and the things that transcend them.

Hey guys, I could use some help with this ongoing project. Since I grabbed the BluRay yesterday I've had some time to sit and pause (finally) and zoom in on some books. I've come up with quite a few new additions (they have been added to my first post). But some I only have partially. Help me fill in the blanks if you can. :)

Authors without titles: (These are authors I see on the shelf but cannot be clear what title. I have placed my guesses next to each name.)

J.B. Priestley (Time and the Conways)
Jose Saramago (book has red cover possibly "Blindness" about a country struck with plague)
Earnest Hemingway (Old Man and the Sea?)
Amistad Maupin (blue spine) (Maybe the Moon?)
Sir Authur Conan Doyle
Margaret Atwood (most likely The Handmaid’s Tale)
Toni Morrison (Home?)
Dorothy Parker (The Collected Dorothy Parker - clearly a nod to Murphy Cooper’s fierce independence and sharpness)
Pat Conroy (The Prince of Tides?)

Partial titles and authors unable to answer through Google:
Selected Poems _________ Hancock (possibly the publisher) (black spine)
The ____ Book of Card Games (brown color with cream color lettering on spine)
Dictionary of Chess (possibly Citadel Press) (white with black lettering on spine)
Siplock
Runaway (?) by ___ Mayer (?)
Poison Friendship(?)
Hearst (?) (Bio on William Randolph? Has white spine with gold lettering)
Great Theorists (?) of the Eastern World
Jackson Pollock (Possibly Deborah Solomon's bio)
Leap or The Leap (maybe Rick Smith's The Leap? seems odd...)

Only one I noticed was Stephen King's The Stand.

Here is a shot of 'Memory Wall' by Anthony Doerr. Quite appropriate, if overly basic...

Also where it is in the bookcase.

You may get a lot more with this hi res img.

Yes, but I'm unsure what editions they are or if they may instead just be a serialized reference book of another kind.
Britannica Junior Enciclopedia (ed.1975)
I'm sure.

Interesting tidbit, Flatland (a story involving a two-dimensional world) is the book that Cooper knocks down from the tesseract when he's yelling at himself not to leave.
