Psalms is great. I also like Ecclesiastes. Wisdom of Sirach is pretty cool too.

Out of several possible, Psalms stand number 1. It gives comfort at times when needed.
Strange, Psalms has always been too dull for me. The same thing over and over and over again. Bleh.
Job is a horrid story in almost every way. Nobody seems to care about all the people around Job that paid for the deal God made with Satan.
Ecclesiastes shows skepticism and insight. Ignore the end added in to appease the priests and you have a good viewpoint.

I quite like Ecclesiastes.
Exodus, Psalms, Esther, and The Song of Solomon are up there too.

Leviticus 20:9 among many other horrors: "Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head." Yeah, and getting a tattoo means you deny the Lord.... Not only too many laws, too many irrational laws... Don't trim your beard.... etc etc.

Agreed. It's my favorite book in the Original Testament.
