Just finished reading the OT and now I'm starting the NT (half way through Matthew). What books do i have to look forward to in the NT? Also what works should I read after the Bible? I was thinking about Confessions by St. Augustine next. Is that a good idea?

Summa Theologica of course

Yeah, read Confessions. Maybe read Waddell's Desert Fathers.

The NT is great. Especially this version (pic related).

After the Bible read the book of common prayer

Revelations tends to be the most hyped. It's the epic, extravagant, Bosch-ian conclusion. People tend to be very partial toward the book of John as well.

Read Confessions. Read some on Thomistic philosophy, but don't get too bogged down in it. Read Tolstoy (namely My Confessions, Father Sergius, God Sees the Truth But Waits, and Three Deaths). Read The Divine Comedy and Paradise Lost, but recognize them as poetic fan fiction rather than expressing religious truth.

All the Gospels are good in their own ways. Acts is pretty neat as a history of the early Church.

Paul's letters can be based, and they're also the oldest things in the New Testament, so it's a neat look into what was going on at the very start of Christianity.
