While there is so much good informatoin in the Bible (and it is undeniably popular), and I think that everyone should read it - it has excellent lessons - I cannot list it as a favorite book. It is simply not enjoyable to read! While the content is wonderful, the writing itself leaves much to be desired. Just sitting down and reading it is extremely difficult.
