Answer

count 'em up! 3 sections to the Jewish Bible:

1. Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy

2. Prophets: Joshua, Judges , Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi

3. Writings: Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Chronicles

In addition there is a vast body of writings including biblical commentary, the oral law (6 books of mishna), and the talmud (babylonian & Jerusalem versions) which is a huge compendium of legal discourses on the mishna and biblical legends and exegesis. on top of that there are classical texts of philosophy, Jewish law, morality, and mysticism which are standard reading for anyone with a decent background in Judaism. actually, Jews are people of the bookS!
