Cover to Cover Bible

Now... if reading the Encyclopedia Brittanica is not up my alley, how about reading the bible from cover to cover... that might be interesting. I remember trying to do that in High School. I had a blue copy of The Way version of the Bible, and it had a reading list where you could tick off the chapters/books as you read them... Would be kind of interesting to try it... I remember that I started that and got totally stuck and bogged down in Leviticus and Numbers... boring as heck... Wonder what I would find if I were to read it. Because the truth is, we really are sporadic when it comes to bible reading. We read some passages over and over again, either in Church, or because they are our favourites. Other passages we never read... ever... like the genealogies in Numbers... So, there is sort of a buffet approach to the Bible in our theology, read the passages that make sense and are readable and fit our notion of God and our theology. The rest we just sort of ignore... Pick and choose really... Perhaps that would be something to write about... Another book idea... How many books are there in the Bible... 70? 72?? Wikianswers says 73 - 39 in the OT, 7 in the Deuterocanonical OT, 28 in the NT... So... call it a chapter a book and we are at 73 chapters in a new book... What would it say?? Don't know... Overall summary and my take on it??? What do you guys think...
