2 is almost certainly Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, written in the 1970s (or late 60s). In this sf novel, Billy Pilgrim is 'unstuck in time', and moves along his own personal timeline, including his experience of being in Dresden as a PoW when it was bombed (an experience Vonnegut had in real life).
7 can be no-one other than Raymond Chandler. I presume this is a description of Mrs Regan in The Big Sleep (1940), though it could conceivably be the woman from The Long Goodbye, whom Marlowe has married by the beginning of Poodle Springs.
