How should I read the Bible? Where should I start? I was thinking about starting on Ecclesiastes, since is a kind of existential book, but I'm not really sure so let here some advices

Well, if have never read it you should start with Genesis, I think, but if you don't want to do that I'd recommend to start with Proverbs and Salms, then at least try to go through Prophets. if you aren't really religious and don't want to go through all the tedious parts of the Old Testament, maybe just read the first three Gospels in order then try again from Genesis onwards

yeah do that, read the ones you think you'll enjoy the most, its not ment to be read in a week or month, its a few chapters a day, so no rush

The beginning. You run the risk of getting stuck at the most outlandish passages of the genesis and you are almost guaranteed to get filtered by the deuteronomy but there really is no better way to approach the bible. It is not something you read cover to cover like a novel, but there is no point in reading the historical books without the pentateuc, prophets need the historical books to be fully understood as well as most of the sapiential books and a lot of the new testament gets lost without the prophets and the psalms. I guess ecclesiastes and job are the most accessible on their own

Just start from the beginning. Genesis and the rest of the pentateuch. Then the historical books, books of poetry, books of wisdom and then the prophets. After that read the New Testament.

John, Luke, Acts, Revelation, Genesis, Exodus
