who wrote the Bible?

umm...see, this is complicated, because, lets say for example that my favorite book is mikhail bulgakov's the master and margarita. Now I like that more than any specific book by Kurt Vonnegut, but I prefer all of KV's work to all of MB's, so how does that work?

also- fiction or non or does it not matter

also- is it about quality of writing, or like, understanding the human condition

Sorry Ben, it isn't meant to be answered. I wrote it after I read a article on the 1001 books you must read before you die, the bible was on it. How many people will read a 1000 books in their life?

If I live long enough I am sure I will, Ben you may have already, but the thing is could you make a top 1000 list? It seems a little crazy.
