 any book can be referenced as a "bible"
The dictionary references the bible as a noun and an adjective. An adjective describes a noun and therefore any book with it's title a noun, can be referenced as a bible. Every book that is not literature including republican philosophy or the establishment (including established church doctrine) would have been a good book other than the bible to read.
To satisfy curiosity and in so doing relieve emphasis on the obvious, I like Backstory by Ken Auletta, Moksha by Aldous Huxley, Isaac Asimov (any of his books) and mathbooks. I hate the fact that Asimov is taken out of context so often and I wish that there was more emphasis on his scientific books that describe the doctoral work that he has professed.
