The Volokh Conspiracy - We're Number Ten!

Each of the items below is number 10 on some list. Determine what rule I have used to make each list. None of them are overly contrived (e.g., "List of Presidents in order of the heights of their wives"). They vary in difficulty quite a bit, and are not sorted in order of difficulty.

And, of course, no googling.

The Spy Who Loved Me
Michael Leavitt
The Grapes of Wrath
The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
January 29, 2005

UPDATE: I changed item 2. As stated it was incorrect.
