My favortie book is the bible it is a collection of sacred texts or scriptures that Jews and Christians consider to be a product of divine inspiration
I have my quiet time every morning - it is a great source of knowledge and comfort.  Do you know much about it's origin?
They have many different versions and it was contributed to by many authors. 
I personally like the New Living Translation - do you have a favorite translation?
I think the new testament is mine, it is a collection of writings but early Christians.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are basically the same account from 4 different perspectives - the life and death of Jesus.
The early writings consist of narratives, letter, and apocalyptic. 
Yes, Revelation would be apocalyptic, all of Paul's are basically letters from prison, etc.
