So many interesting books have been suggested on this thread.
I've downloaded a few from audible and look forward to reading them.

I enjoyed the following books, written by Burton L Visotzky, a professor of Midrash:
Reading the Book: Making the Bible a Timeless Text (1991)
Sage Tales: Wisdom and Wonder from the Rabbis of the Talmud (2011)
Aphrodite and the Rabbis: How the Jews Adapted Roman Culture to Create Judaism as We Know It' ' ( 2016)

Lately I've read articles and commentaries on many Jewish subjects and issues, but no books.
I do read from the Torah each week, and can say I've read all 5 books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy; or Bereshit , Shemot, Vayikra, Bamidbar, Devarim) several times over.
