    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie

    Wouldn't novels of world literature be easier, the way you did before? I think with stories the intersection is much smaller (I mean the probability that people have read the same stories as you or at least heard about them).

    Plus, if we gave you a list, where would be the fun of guessing?
    O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.

    I agree with Barbara. I think if you just did general literature, instead of a specific genre, it would work fine.

    3: Yep, direct line from the book.

    7: No, Usher's house was specifically by a "tarn". Think about a hermit who lived on ____________ Pond.
