I strongly suggest everyone who has some interest in English literature or Western culture to read the Bibles, preferably from a literary perspective. I also recommend using a small amount of commentary works to company your reading. After all, there's a large chance that you'll discover that the Bibles are not what you think. You would have assumed that they're all boring allegorical stories or strained apologies written by theorists, only if you don't read the Bibles on your own.
They are first-class fantasy novels with a small dose of history. They are beautiful. They have been inspiring generations of artists and authors over the last three thousand years.
