Modern Prometheus...or Tenth Muse?

[leahbobet]

So in the shelving of bookstores you learn a lot of things about books. Some of them are about marketing trends, publishing, and the habits of the readership, and some are about silly cover art and when you could get away with what title in science fiction. For example, nobody could get away with THE GODS THEMSELVES (oh noes!) now, or STARMAN JONES. You had to be in a certain era to pull that stuff off with a straight face.

Such it is with Victorian fiction.

Try calling a book To Serve and Submit: Or, the Modern Prometheus now. Really.

So I gazed mine eyes upon this, and decided that you have a task! A task from the Gods! It is to fill in this sentence!

__________, or, The Modern Prometheus.

Example solutions include:

A User's Guide to Vacuum Technology; Or, the Modern Prometheus
I Was A Teenage Fairy; Or, The Modern Prometheus.

The only rule? The book titles must be of real books. Link to the Amazon listing if you're going obscure.

Well then. Off you go!

ETA: And make sure you are in fact filling in a sentence. Tossing book titles at one by themselves simply does not do it.

Also, it's a phrase, not a sentence!
