I figured out the answer, but it doesn't really make sense to me. That is, I got to level 8, but I don't feel that I've solved a riddle.

Spoiler:

It's a bit convoluted, but Ethan Frome is the name of the incomplete title. It's written as "__ then Frome", so if you add the "E" it's "E then" or "Ethan". Yeah, that one was odd.

I'm stuck on 14.

The line reads 'half full' but the picture is titled 'pessimist'. If you see the glass as half empty you'd be a pessimist but if you see it as half full........

Okay, with that in mind, if there's an image titled 'pessimist' is there one titled........?

I'm at level 18 and must stop cause it's past 2am. Gak!

Yeah, I knew the title of the book. And that's the first explanation that makes sense. Sortof.

The fact that there's a Wharton book that comes in the space where the blank would be is confusing. Looks like they forgot one.

If "Ethan" was spelled "Ethen" then I'd think this one was pretty clever. But it's not, so I don't. I think "odd" is being generous. It's a significantly flawed puzzle.
