No, i am not religious (actually i’m atheist) but I’ve always been interested in reading the bible bc I hear it can be a crazy story. But I flipped through it before and it seems like a book I won’t be able to get through – not just the length but the language-style as well.
Is there a version of the bible that is easier to digest/read than something like the KJB.
I want to start reading books considered classics but I feel with classics, they are much harder for me to understand/absorb

The Living Bible is good. Start with the New Testament though
There are as many versions of the Bible as there are types of people. There are more kid friendly books that are pretty accessible. I’m not judging your reading abilities, there are also cliff notes that would be very accessible if you just want that.
I am Christian. My favorite one is the New International Version. For me, it seems to strike a balance between the pretty poetic aspect (like the New King James version) and modern readability.
