What are your "readers' reviews" of the "real" holy books?

I'm sorry if I didn't phrase the question correctly. What I am asking is, if you're an atheist, what do you think of the Christian Bible, the Quran, the Bhagavad Gita, the Torah, etc if you were to treat them as you would a book and not as a holy scripture.<br><br>I'll go first, I'm an ex-Muslim (my family is still Muslim and pretty devout, just to be clear). I read the Quran from cover to cover when I was in elementary school and I thought it was mostly a collection of rules and random stories from the Old Testament. I got bored halfway through and stopped reading it because I personally I found it incredibly boring, it was like a legal textbook written by an Arab from the 7th century. I also thought it was incredibly contradictory, like when the Quran first said that Christians and Jews could be considered friends "because they're also People of the Book" then suddenly said you shouldn't befriend Christians and Jews. I'm not saying all of it is like that, or that all Muslims think like that, but that's my interpretation of it when I read it.<br><br>A little disclaimer, I'm not trying to offend or mock your deeply held religious beliefs.
