i recommend everyone read the bible as if you do you will get way more out of reading anything written by a european during the last thousand years. Shakespeare, Camus, Marx, Tolstoy, all those mfs constantly lowkey alluding to bible stuff and expecting u to just get the reference. i mean u could also just avoid reading anything written by a european in the last thousand years but ud be missing out on some buckwild shit
