I paid about 120 bucks for this, but it's worth it. It's huge. 410 pages and around 12x8 inches.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This morning, I finished a book I've been making my way through all year: The Bible. Specifically the fifth edition of the New Oxford Annotated Bible, New Revised Standard Version, with the Apocrypha. I read all the books, all the introductory and explanatory essays, all the footnotes.
This seems to be the study bible most commonly used in academic courses in this field, and it certainly was an education all in itself. There's a lot of great info in there, focusing especially on the history of these texts and the context of the times they were written. I've been atheist and anti-spiritual since I was about 14, so this was not a religious exercise for me. It was more a historical and literary exploration.
It's not an especially good or interesting or wise book by itself, a lot of it is stupendously boring and irrelevant. Some of it is briefly interesting. The book of Ecclesiastes is great, struck me as very Epicurean. The book of Jonah is also great, very funny and short. The Gospels are also pretty good, there's some good stuff in there in between the supernatural stories of Jesus curing lepers and whatnot. Revelation was also pretty interesting to read.
But I read the thing, cover to cover. I feel like a more informed person now.
