Could you clarify please, the difference between two what? Between the Jewish Bible and it's commentary, between the Jewish Bible and the Chrisitan Bible, or something else? I couldn't catch what you were referring to.

I'd suggest the Principia Discordia.

Also, it's not normally thought of as a "religious" book, but I'd also suggest A Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi.

And religious but not a "book" per se, I'd recommend Letter to the Governor of Barbados by George Fox.

Between the Jewish and Christian Bibles.

So, the Old Testament in the Christian Bible is not the same as the Jewish Bible? How big would you say the differences are and could you give me an example?

I'll put it this way: When a Christian reads the Old Testament, he sees justification for original sin, vicarious salvation, the Trinity, a prophesy about Jesus, and all kinds of things that do not exist in Judaism

A Jewish Bible, particularly one with commentary, presents the Torah within the framework of the Jewish tradition and Jewish philosophy. The Old Testament, in comparison, is a Christian text, written by Christians, and uses Christian understanding.

Okay, I see. So it's not so much the content that's different, it's the perspective. Fair 'nough.

The Gathas are really unique, and very old.

Try the Analects for Confucianism, I own this book and it was pretty amazing, and I think it more like the official book for Confucianism.

For your To Do list, may I add a few?

The Satanic Bible - I have not bought the book yet, but I read it on Google Books and it was one of the best philosophical texts I've read.

Mr. Martyr - I thought this was the name, but I can't find Google results for it, so I'm not sure, maybe there was something behind the title. But it basically describes what it was like to be a martyr during the Mayan Ages.

A Witch's Bible - I have yet to read it, but it describes the tenets of Wicca.

I know more but not their name off the back, and I don't want to fill your list to where you can't breath :P.
