I want to read religious books but in story format instead of reading retarded verses
I want to read Abrahamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese, and Greek religious stories.
What's the best book for me?
Thanks

Ramesh Menon's novelizations of the Mahabharata and Ramayana may be something that you're looking for.

This is such a broad thing you're asking for I don't even know where to direct you to begin. For Greek stuff read either Bulfinch or Hamilton's Mythology books I guess. If you want something on Christianity read Shusaku Endo's Life of Jesus. There are countless introductions to Christianity as a religion but they're less focused on just "the story" which sounds like what you want.

For Islam I'd just go reading hadiths.

No book that tells the story of the hadiths in detail?
