Crime and Punishment? Riiiiiiiight. I'm *sure* that's one of her favorite books. Reading Dostoyevsky IS a punishment.

Please stop reading this. You are encouraging her!

A few years ago I remember reading an article where it was mentioned that Gwyneth was shooting a film and someone was eating a cup o noodle soup, and she tore them a new one for eating it even going so far to say that she would never feed that to her kids. It sort of pissed me off, I mean not everyone can afford to be Gwyneth. So i agree with #5. Stop encouraging her!! Gwyneth's Goop is just that, Goop. I mean really? Who re-reads Jane Austen? The books they suggested with the exception of Madonna's are all pretty much high school/college reading material. Madonna didnt even give a brief synopsis of her favorites, which is sorta lame. That said I do like the recipes. the recipes are great. otherwise i am totally unsubscribing because I dont need to know where gwyneth vacations.

Natalie, I understand your obsession with Goop! Here's my confession:

I agree with #2. I love the two Get newletters. The uniform and the little black dress are the best.

I loved Crime and Punishment and Jane Austen is one of my favorite writers. I have re-read many of her books. Not everyone has the same taste in reading material but these are classics for a reason. It isn't crazy to think these are their favorite books.

I think the Madonna section with the missing summaries was a mistake. . . clearly they meant to put a summary in there about the books and from the looks of it, I think they forgot to do it. Made me laugh aloud. Nice work, team Goop.

Ahh, Shantaram. That's an entertaining read, if not high-quality literature.

And yes, some people really do like the classics. They're classics for a reason!

Does anyone know what inspired her to create this website/newsletter?

A ridiculously inflated ego?
