Good choice. I can’t think of another book that reads you as much as you read it.

This is the only answer.

Isn't it the case that when you already live in a largely christian community you sort of get the gist of bible by osmosis? Does actually reading it change you view of the world in the most massive way? As opposed to reading something more unexpected, contrary to the popular belief...

Bible is obvious overall choice but I took it as other than the obvious...

True...it is the Bitcoin of books

To be fair, that is an anthology published in a single volume.
