/lit/ - Literature

How rewarding are the gospels to read if you're not christian? Are they works of literary value? Are they written to have a narrative, a story, and a climax? What's the best translation? Is reading the rest of the new testament nescecary?

Finished reading the Stormlight Archives, and everything I've heard about Sanderson turns out to be true. I'm fairly new to fantasy literature in general and figured it would be a decent introduction. The prose is very basic, but I can see how that would appeal to many readers and why it is popular right now; it's just not quite my preferred style. After reading Sanderson, I'd like to read something from the fantasy genre with comparatively good prose so I can get a feel for where the boundaries lie. If someone could give me some suggestions for fantasy books with the best prose--not necessarily plot--I'd be very grateful, though preferably nothing above a trilogy in length.
