No Great Magic by Fritz Leiber

but if you really have trouble getting to sleep, try this:

The Bondage of the Will, by Martin Luther:
At issue was whether human beings, after the Fall of Man, are free to choose good or evil. The debate between Luther and Erasmus is one of the earliest of the Reformation over the issue of free will and predestination.
presumably I'd be on Erasmus' side in this debate, but then I'm not good at hellfire and damnation theology.
Neither was Erasmus:
  1. Erasmus, Desiderius. "Praise of Folly, The" · (readers)
