Ueno's introductions to algebraic geometry: I,II and III.
These are the only algebraic geometry books I've read cover to cover, but I'm sure they qualify, as they explain (a small part of) the core material properly, giving geometric intuitions on the way, and also, they are very light. :-)
Also `the not so short guide to latex 2e', being as it is virtual and thus weighing nothing! Despite really being quite useful!
Sorry, I fear I may be cheating. But then, however really really nice your coffee may be, it still won't agree with me.
