I don't think any of the post is right. I have read the Bible cover to cover a couple of times. And it is very much not non-fiction. Maybe OP hasn't read it and didn't know.
If there were any books that were like the Bible to me, Iโd never want to read them again, and consider them the worst examples of fiction Iโve ever read.
Well, the Bible.
Not the Holy Bible, the one by Kernighan & Ritchie.
You mean reference books?
You vastly overestimate my esteem for the Bible
In my line of work, the โBibleโ is the Chicago Manual of Style. It is the deciding factor of what is โrightโ in editing.
Video Game manuals, specially if they have pretty art designs.

The Hot Zone - Richard Preston
I own two full copies of encyclopedia Britannica, 1897 and 1978
The Book of Why by Judea Perl
National Geographic Kids Almanac. Read them as a kid and I learned a lot from them.
Also the dictionary. I need to make sure I use my shiny new hard words the right way.
Das Kapital, really want to read it some day but I cannot even get past the 5 first pages ๐
"The subtle art of not giving a f*ck"
"The 7 habits of highly effective people" - this one in particular.
Historical fiction?
Yeah loaded question to say the least lol
