Yeah. $60 is pretty steep for KJV. There are better translations available, but KJV would at least integrate better with the kind of British literature I had to read in school.

For a lot of that stuff, you have to know your Bible stories to understand it, and if you didn't hear those at a religious institution, you were at a disadvantage.
