Hello

I was in the library the other day (trust me that occasion could be celebrated it's that rare), and i stumbled upon the "Tibetan Book Of The Dead"...now i'm wondering what kind of a book is it?
It doesn't say anything on the back and i don't know if it's worth reading since i'm not really a book worm and don't really like books or reading.
I know...i'm lazy like that but i don't wanna borrow something that i wont read...so what i wanna know is, has anyone ever read this book and what's it about and a personal opinion would be appreciated

Oh and also i borrowed the Aleister Crowley's book called: "Holly books" or something like hat i have a translated version so i don't know the exact title...the thing is, it looks like it's encoded or something?
It's written in points like 1.,2.,3.,4.,5., and so on and so on...i really don't know how to read it so tips would also be appreciated...
Thanks in advance!
Blessed be!
