I want to learn a lot more about theology overall, though I don't want to pursue a degree related to it.
Is there anyone here who is very interested in/invested in this subject?
Are there any good books relating to this?

Not just Christianity/western theology, but theology overall, including very ancient religions.

David Fords' Theology, A Very Short Introduction (Oxford) quickly breaks it down, and has the bibliography to get you started. The best way, I think, is to read one of the better histories of the Middle Ages; a good, old one is H.O. Taylor's The Medieval Mind.

You know there is a difference between theology and religion? For example there's pretty much no islamic theology at all.
Therefore, are you interested in theology or religion?

Most religions have atleast some recorded theology, what the fuck are you talking about?

Islam has plenty of Theological writings.

Islam has apologetics, little theology. Theology for the near-eastern/Arabian world is Philo of Alexandria, Origen, Derys the Aeropagite, Augustine to some degree. By the time of Islam the faith of their region had become Puritanically dogmatic and resistant to changes, thus you have a faith that lacks theology in the earlier sense.
