Some of the books are poetry, some wisdom literature, some apocalyptic, some parables, some law...

The Bible is full of letters, Prose, Poetry, and Prophesy. whether or not you believe anything it says it can simply be studied as a work of literature (the single most influential literature in Western Civilization) and learn much about the ancient Hebrew culture, and the culture of the roman empire from around the time of Christ.
