What book of the Bible do YOU think is the most exciting.... like something taken right out of a fiction novel?

Ok... someone asked why I want to know and so I will answer. I want to know because I want to know. Is that so bad? I want to see what other people think. Of course, I have my own favorite book of the bible, and I love the book of Esther (yes, I'm old enough to read the Bible, thanks!). But I just think the Bible is revolutionary and wondered what other people thought. I believe every word of it, of course.
What made me thought of this was: the Fourth of July. People said The Declaration of Independence is like something out of fiction: there's a king tyrant, a bunch of rebels find a whole new land and rage against him. It really makes sense! So, I started thinking about the Bible after church and this question popped into my head and I wondered what books people thought were like this.
That is my totally, uselessly, long explanation. Hey, you asked.

Revelation: reads like the Science fiction that it is.

I love Ezekiel for the powerful visions and the conversations with God. He had Ezekiel do some pretty crazy things to get His word across to His people, commanding Ezekiel to draw Jerusalem and then to set up model siege works against it. To lie on his left side beside it for 360 days and then to lie on his right side for 40 days. The book is so full of holiness and majesty and must have been pretty terrifying for poor Ezekiel.

2 Kings. In it (6:28-9) it talks of eating a guy's son. Yukk! Also, I find that so many people believe that Genesis is fact rather than parable.

I like Judges and Daniel. Judges has some great blood and guts stories and Daniel and his friends have some wild adventures too.

Revalations. You almost expect St John to say 'pass the weed' half-way through.

probably revelations, but also the book of job, which is actually copied from babylonian folklore. Go figure!

Revelations. It makes the scientologists seem sane.

Job. the whole concept of God sitting around with Satan making wagers is comical. i picture them sipping mai-tais and playing a round of golf while they giggle over Job's eff'd up situation they created for their mutual amusement.

The Song of Solomon.
Seriously. Have you read it? Are you old enough to read it? Bow chicka bow-wow.
