There are lots of reasons to read, so I'm wondering what y'all get out of reading? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

For me, I have very little in my life, so it's something of an escape into another world.

I've been on a kick about early christianity (atheist).

Just finished Bart Ehrman's Forged: Writing in the Name of God--Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are.

Just started Robert Price's The Amazing Colossal Apostle: The Search for the Historical Paul.

Price is a mythicist, a school of thought that I only first found last year. This is the third book I'm reading from an author who doesn't believe their was a historical Jesus. Very interesting stuff. I read because I want to learn new things and to better understand topics. I especially love history.
