>is it worth the time?
Yes. The Old Testament by itself is so much worth the time the ancient Hebrews decreed its words should be on your lips always.

>is it actually a good read?
Best literature mankind has produced, and it's not even close. What, were you going to read about some pagan gods having chariot battles in the sky and call that literature?

>bible fags enlighten me please
get a Douay Rheims in English if you want the medieval experience. KJV is poetic, yes, but archaic and its meanings are not the clearest. best for easy contemporary reading is NIV imo. best for casual scholarly reading is NRSV.

The Holy Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Pray the rosary. Pray when you wake up, pray when you go to bed. Pray for yourself and for others. Be grateful to God for what you have. Simple as. Seriously. Do it. Reading a book isn't mysticism.

Enoch is likely to confuse him, same for the dead sea scrolls. Cloud of Unknowing is a step in the right direction. The sermons of Meister Eckhart as well, perhaps. But primarily OP you must pray to God and the saints.
