Great set of books. I Think regardless of our capacity (or rather incapacity) to understand the Words of God in the Bible, Nevertheless, it's still an amazing "book". That's like saying "Lord of the Rings" was tedious and difficult to comprehend so therefore it is not a good book...Is that fair? I dunno. Just my thoughts, i guess. :) @jessebe (316): OOh I agree with Libba Bray’s trilogy! Great set of books.

To me it's the best book written. Those that say the bible have no imagination. It's not well written at all. It takes a lot of intellectual capacity to understand what it's saying, let alone analyse that. The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. To me it’s the best book written.

Agathat Chirstie's "And then there was none", Pride and Prejudice (what can you say? a romantic at heart..) and practically anything from Shakespeare =) Bible's obviously a very noteworthy one...

I think he does an incredible job describing how ass-backwards the holocaus was in a way that I've never even thought of. Beautiful. That or Of Mice and Men.
