The Devil's Dictionary

by Ambrose Bierce

Highly recommended, with funny and even truthful perspectives of words, sometimes with additions of poems on the word...

i.e MAD, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence; not conforming to standards of thought, speech and action derived by the conformants from study of themselves; at odds with the majority; in short, unusual. It is noteworthy that persons are pronounced mad by officials destitute of evidence that themselves are sane.

The Invisible Man

by H.G. Wells

I liked it - kinda slow in parts, and absolutely no romance, but the way the scientist's personality changes is interesting.

And it helps answer the age-old question "Would you rather be invisible, or be able to fly?"
