I'd answer "The Bible" but it's outside the classifications. It's above them(because of its Author).
So I say "Quo Vadis" by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Try it! It's about how the first Christians loved each other and defied one of history's lousiest dictators, Nero.

The Blueberry Muffin Murder. The blueberry muffins are easy to make, their delicoius, even though they look smashed. And the story itself, is very entertaining with some occassional amusement. It makes the reader want to go to the cookie shop in Minnesota!
