I'm reading the Bible right now, not because I'm religious but because I was curious. I'm at Leviticus right now. Genesis and Exodus were entertaining but currently I'm only reading about laws which is a bit boring, to be honest.

I got half-way through the Old Testament and plan to pick up where I left off soon enough.

I read The Qur'an in the meantime.

How was the Qur’an? I have a translation I should probably read but haven’t got past the translator’s preface

Depends very much on the translation and exegesis. I read the International Sahid version or whatever it was called. I didn't read the hadiths, though.
