Any and all tales about the "wise men" of Chelm
- Recommended by: Leigh Sabio, Shay Guy
- A series of Jewish folktales with this basic premise: When God was handing out souls, he gave two different angels two different sacks of souls, one with wise souls, and one with foolish souls. Unfortunately, the angel carrying the sack of foolish souls dropped his sack over a village called Chelm, creating a village of fools. Inside the village, though, the fools believe that they got the wise souls, and so they call themselves the wise men of Chelm. Hilarity Ensues.
- Er, I love the stories, but this is folklore. It has nothing to do with The Bible.
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
Paradise Lost
by John Milton
- Recommended by Salnax1, Jordan
- Synopsis: Satan, having recently lost in his rebellion, organizes his followers and plans the downfall of God's newest creation: Adam and Eve. Drama ensues.
- Comments: One of the better known fanfics out there, Paradise Lost is most notable for its style and characterization. Like Aeneid, another influential fanfic, it is written as an epic poem. The descriptions of people, events, and places are excellent, though they are perhaps too descriptive. Satan, Adam, and Eve are remarkably fleshed out, and are given realistic motives and feelings.
Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by
Christopher Moore
- Recommended by Sessalisk
- Synopsis: The years of Jesus Christ's life that were not covered in The Bible.
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.
