Hmmm, an interesting exercise, this. I'd probably favor the shorter
stories so that I could fit more of them in. Let's see:
Forlesen
The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories
How the Whip Came Back
A Cabin on the Coast
Parkroads
A Solar Labyrinth
Westwind
The Detective of Dreams
Queen
The Hero as Werwolf
How I Lost the Second World War and Helped Turn Back the German Invasion
In Looking-Glass Castle
La Befana
The War Beneath the Tree
No Planets Strike
Our Neighbour by David Copperfield
When I Was Ming the Merciless
The Toy Theater
...
Naah, it's hopeless. I like too many of them. And that's mostly sticking
to the older stories and avoiding all the novellas...
