Punctuating a list of questions
I want to punctuate a list of questions, all within quotes - ie
He was full of questions: ‘Have you read this book on Pollock?’ ‘Have you
been to MOMA?’ ‘Have you seen the new Derrida book?'
Would I use commas, semi colons or no punctuation (as above) to separate these?
Thanks!

I wouldn't use the quotation marks between the questions. "Have you read this book? Have you been to MOMA?

Did you ever find the correct answer to this question? I also need to puncutate a list of quotations with punctuation. It would not make sense for me to put them all in one quotation, as they are examples of correct responses.

Hi,
I would do it like this.
He was full of questions. ‘Have you read this book on Pollock?’ ‘Have you been to MOMA?’ ‘Have you seen the new Derrida book?'
