I read the bible cover-to-cover once. It was hard. The writing doesn't really sweep you along. I found it had a lot of self-justification, and a lot of similar stories repeated. Like the one where the god says, kill them and take their stuff because they're heretics. I guess it would be all right for a scholar who could burrow down into one one book or one verse and squeeze all kinds of meaning out of it, but as a cohesive story end-to-end, it doesn't measure up. BTW, when I did this reading there was no AI to consult, and no internet to look up guides.
