I speak both Arabic and Hebrew. Read the Quran fully, read half (scattered) of the Hebrew Old Testament.
Quran - Epic poems telling men to fear and obey God, with some Hebrew mythology in between. It is impressively written and very rewarding to read in Arabic. Translations would be boring if you aren't a monotheist.
Bible - Hebrew mythology and history (inaccurate one at that) with some divine rules here and there. Written in a boring matter, translations can actually be better than the original. The stories are rich though and reading through them is interesting. If you skip around, the Bible can be fun.
Keep in mind that most people recommending you the Bible in /lit/ are fundie christfags who are equivalent to people who watch porn for the plot.
