Bible for literary qualities and pedagree
Quran for improving on the New Testament and making it consistent with the old
Guru Granth for iconoclastic doctrine that combines Sufism with Bhakti (ironic it would be literally worshipped by Sikhs later)
Writings of Baha’u’llah (provisional translations only, official are badly translated and biased) for being the most sensible contender for a successor to Islam, stick with his mystical writings if you just want more Sufi texts but don’t buy him being a prophet (the rest of his writings are just reforms of Muslim law and telling off random rulers of his time)
Urantia book for best to put you to sleep, somehow makes Alien gods seem boring. The Book of Mormon also has this distinction, but slightly more entertaining once you get over the bad fake KJV language
Gathas are good, on level of Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and Buddhist texts as being heady and moral.
rest of the Avesta and Vedas are mostly just nature worship hymns, maybe it’s my monotheistic bias but seems monotonous after a while
