There are so many better, well-conceived narratives out there, better through-lines, more cogent plots, & character development. If you are looking for a hero, or a role model, or just really interesting character, you'd do much better with Ulysses, Beowulf, Frodo, Grendel, Luke Skywalker, Holden Caulfied, Yossarian, Billy Pilgrim, Tom Joad, Dean Moriarty, Sal Paradise, Don Draper, King Arthur, Marcus Aurelius.
Want to read weighty tome that will change your life? Alter your own space, time & dimension? Try Crime & Punishment, Infinite Jest, Moby Dick, The World According to Garp, Blood Meridian, Catch-22. Sink into the Human Realm in all it's glory.
The Bible is pretty over-rated. It has some interesting verses, over-amped scenes, but that old book, is all over the map. Messy, contradictory, misleading. How much ignorance, intolerance, murder & mayhem has that book unleashed over the centuries?
Pick & choose wisely Grasshopper. Be careful what you put into your head. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
