Wow, that's going fast... you cover jushuah, judges, chronicles samuel and kings (and maybe a few I forget) in so short a span?

Jeez, the Begats kill every bit of momentum. Do you skip them? The last time I read it straight through, I did.
these are things we think we know
these are feelings we might even share
these are thoughts we hide from ourselves
these are secrets we cannot lay bare.

I skim read the begats.

You are talking to a guy whose job used to include reading huge volumes of government legislation to pick out the bits we used to have to actually do something about and then report on it.

The Bible is a piece of piss compared..in many senses of the word come to think of it..

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

actually, bible paper seems to be very close to cig paper, I hear that rizla+ and OCB are indeed perfectly suited, but bible seems close enough... just hope the ink doesn't bugger the taste... at least it's supposed to be non toxic.
