Book of Genesis

I've decided to read/listen to the entire King James translation of the Bible for a number of reasons. Not only have I never read it in its entirety, but it's also one of the fundamental backbones of western literature. I have quibbles with the translation (there are some egregious translation errors in it, both intentional and otherwise), but it is obviously beautifully rendered from a linguistic/literary point of view. If I wanted to study Genesis as a piece of ancient near-eastern writing, I'd pick up a different translation, probably Robert Alter's or the New Revised Standard Version, but the KJV is bedrock English literature. Absolutely a fundamental piece for anyone who wants to grasp modern western writing and philosophy.
