The Princess Bride

by Simon Morgenstern (abridged by William Goldman)

It's weird - the book feels like it has a different style from all the movies I've seen with Goldman screenplays, including the Princess Bride.  Even the parts written by Goldman, not Morgenstern.

How Jesus Became Christian

by Barrie Wilson.

Wow.  How haven't I heard these things before?
Reads like a relatively entertaining dissertation, though it repeats itself so many times you only nead to read about a quarter, I think.

New Moon

by Stephenie Meyer

This one was less about hotness and more about sadness, but otherwise much the same.  Also, display these books in a public place and invite friends over - you may be surprised.

Twilight

By Stephenie Meyer

I was right; it was like Harry Potter.  But with sexier sexiness.

A Farewell to Arms

by Ernest Hemmingway.

The style feels so simple.  It's like meditating.

Once

by Rebecca Rosenblum

Are all of these stories sad?  Even the happy ones?  Was that just me?
