i try and read at least a bit of the bible every day,i had a printout(cant find it)on how many verses you had to read every day to complete it in a year.I did so about 9 years ago.My favourite book is proverbs,there is so many stand alone scriptures that are each pearls of wisdom.My favourite secular author is Terry Pratchett(ever heard of him?)always manages to make me laugh out loud.
