I'm the same way. I would like to read it, but it's not an easy to read book. Although, spoiler alert. My newest review (still pending) is a book written in poetry form about a book of the bible. Made it really easy to read. Keep an eye out for it!!TrishaAnn92 wrote:I've tried...never got past the forst few pages. As much as I'd like to say I have, I wouod just always get bored.

That's great!gali wrote:Yes, I did (the Old Testament).
I think that some translations can make it a little easier to read. I have a copy of "The Message" edition that I got back in high school. I haven't tried reading it through yet, I just remember all the negative feedback that it wasn't true to the Bible's translation. I may go pull it out a do a little reading.

I remember the class being both fascinating and boring. As interesting as the reading is it is some of the driest collection of words I've ever read (probably second to the time I attempted to read a dictionary). The class also made me contemplate the amount of history gets lost or edited through the years. The theory is that least two books of the New Testament were written generations after the events happened and used a source material we no long have. it's almost like if I wrote a book report and x-hundred years later my report is found but the original book is out of print/otherwise lost. i think that's what happened to The Princess Bride.

I agree.. I skip the begot part every time. I am not going to remember it but I know where it is located if I need to go back to research something. I am not in a rush either and I don't believe it should be rushed. I normally read a chapter or so a day. Been slacking lately though.SparklingOne wrote:Not yet. I took a class on the book of John, Revelation, Psalms and another which focused on all the narrative bible books. Truthfully I would probably always skip the beget, begat parts. There's definitely lots more to discover there for me, but I'm not motivated to finish it for bragging rights or anything.
