in fact a large learned volume of a book,
but...what else would go with something
sounding like Top-Ten-Tunes?

That's exactly why I must sit this one out.

1. The Lake
2. The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl
3. The Crowd
4. Fahrenheit 451
5. A Sound of Thunder
6. The Great Wide World Over There
7. The Scythe
8. The Playground
9. Emissary
10. The Veldt

Throw up in the morning, clean up in the afternoon!

Indeed. I'm already regretting my omission of "The Utterly Perfect Murder" and "Gotcha".

1. Night Call, Collect
2. The April Witch
3. The Great Wide World over There
4. A Piece of Wood
5. Frost and Fire
6. The Gift
7. The Rocket Man
8. The Wonderful IceCream Suit
9. The Inspired Chicken Motel
10. The Naming of Names
(from The Martian Chronicles)
The order is up for dispute.
