Good Book

After years of thinking about it, I decided to read a very popular book. I put off reading it for years because it has thousands of pages that are very thin and the print is small. Many people have begun reading it and  put it down after a few pages because there are a lot of names mentioned and the real story doesn't come into play until the middle of the first chapter. By that time, the book has been closed and put back on the shelf. The book I am speaking about is the Bible. I told myself that no matter how long it takes, I was going to read it from beginning to end. I bought a new copy and also had it installed on my Nook reader. After I got through the names of who was related to who, the real story began. It is such a riveting story that I cannot put it down. Every night I read as many pages as I can and can't wait till the next evening to continue reading again. So much of our daily lives are strongly rooted in the Bible. Our judicial system is clearly laid out in Exodus. Common sayings that we all know are from Genesis. Each new verse opens up an entire new understanding of life. I know why people refer to it as "the good book". It really is a good book. The story is fascinating.
