I had 8 years of Christian school and ~ 25 years of "bible" type churches. I feel fairly confident that at one point or another I've read all or nearly all of the Bible, without having actually kept track. They even made me memorize portions of it.

Did you also read the part where Moses orders the massacre of women and children? Numbers 31:17.

Nah you never read that stuff or have it read in Church. At least, not at any Church I attended.

There's also incest, bestiality, kings putting soldiers on the frontlines so the king can do the dirty with the soldier's wife and a host of other stuff.

It's fascinating. Talking animals, from what I understand there's only two: the infamous serpent, and a talking mule.

I found the perfect solution to all those should-have-reads or 'want to say I've read'. It's called ShrinkLits - "Seventy of the world's towering classics cut down to size." By Maurice Sagoff
So in rhyme (and 111 pages), from Lysistrata to Catcher in the Rye, Moll Flanders to Portnoy's Complaint, Beowulf to Lolita, etc.. Here's The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan: Christian slogs Weary miles. God's apostle, Orbi, urbi. Through bogs, Over stiles. A colossal Bunyan Derby. So can I now say I've read them all? ![]() |
