Non-fiction and Bible don’t really go hand in hand. Even if they did, it would be a really graphic book and not really one for pleasure. Maybe you would like history around that time period?

Ah, so do you mean like some kind of Encyclopedia?
Sort of. It’s a real expression (at least in England :P) meaning a “must-have” book, usually related to some subject/profession. For example, I’d consider Everyday Cryptography by Keith Martin the cryptographer’s Bible. Even after going through it all, it’s helpful for reference.

Master Handbook of Acoustics—lives up to its name.
The Art of War, Tao Te Ching, and the Art of Learning. They’re heavy reads, except Art of Learning is more of a biography of a really competitive guy.
