I love this idea! This is really difficult to do, though.

I looked through my lists of books and didn't find any that started with these words, but I combed through Amazon and found some. Mind you, I haven't read these, so I can't recommend them or not.

Also, for "marry", it is really hard to find books that start with that word spelled like that unless they're called something like "Marry me" which might kind of give it away. Maybe go with "Mary" or "Merry" for the spelling? Just a thought.

Anyway, books! I selected a bunch, some might have funny titles. I didn't know what kind of a vibe you were going for, so I figured I'd throw out what I found, silly or not.

Will

Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?

Will You Still Love Me in the Morning?

Will and Me: How Shakespeare Took Over My Life

Will You Marry Me? For obvious reasons, if you use this one, I'd recommend giving the books in reverse order (Me, Marry, You,Will)-- or if you want to sound like Yoda.


You

You Suck: A Love Story This one is by Christopher Moore, a hilarious author.

You Only Live Twice This is a James Bond novel

You Can't Go Home Again This is a classic, and is supposed to be amazing. I've never read it though. :/

You Shall Know Them This looks really philosophical and strange.

You Never Know With Women Harlequin cheap novel. Didn't know the sense of humor, could be funny. Har har.

You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense Bukowski.


Mary

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Warning! Linked book is abridged. Booo.
Mary Barton Never heard of it, but Amazon calls it a classic.
Mary This one is by Nabokov.


Merry

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

The Merry Wives of Windsor Shakespeare.


Marry

Marry Your Baby Daddy Tee hee.

Marry Anerley This is large print and has no reviews. :/

Marry Me This one is by John Updike. I've never read anything by him, but he is supposed to be pretty good.


Me

Me Talk Pretty One Day Someone else suggested this and I second it. If you haven't read it, it is a book of short bits by the author about struggling with his speech in Paris. It is really good.

Me Tanner, You Jane Suspense thriller? Never heard of it.

Me Again People with amnesia. This book has really good reviews.

Me and Emma This one also has really good reviews.

Me! Okay, this one is a kids' book, but depending on personalities, it could work, so I threw it in here.


I hope this helps and that someone has read some of these books and can tell you if they are any good. Either way, let us know what you end up doing!!

well. A book that changed my life back when I was 15 was Walden from Thoreau. I threw away everything I owned. yeah I mean everything even my bed. I own nothing that dates from before I was 15. Would this have the same effect today? who knows.

back then, the book Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche had something to to with me ''taking a break'' from school, contributing too did: genealogy of Morals, into the wild, Adorno - dialectic of Enlightenment ( had no idea what that guy was talking about back then but made me real queasy about the world nonetheless.)

books that changed my life recently: Lying from Sam Harris. Steven Pinker - Enlightenment now made me pick a lot of fights with people who like to hate this world.

Insanity of Normality made me forgive some people I had real bad feelings toward, though I'm sceptical now of what is said in the book

unless you understand german you won't be able to read this: Blödmachinen , made me a snob in regards to media. Bernard Stieglers books might have the same effect in english

oh and selfish gene by Dawkins made me less judgmental. Don't know why. I just like people more

EDIT

oh lest I forget: Kandinsky - Concerning The Spiritual in Art made me paint my appartement black blue; Bukowski and the Rubaiyat made me drink more, Born To Run made me run barefoot, Singers Practical Ethics made me donate money and buy far less stuff.
