I've been wanting to read the Bible since I was a little girl. I remember sitting in church, reading through Genesis, convinced I could get through it if I kept reading it every week. Needless to say, eight year old me never got past Exodus. As an adult, I've tried to read the Bible cover to cover multiple times, but always gave up a couple hundred pages in. I thought instead I would try and start with the Hebrew Bible, and I finally did it! This has been a work in progress since last July, reading just a few chapters every day. I also enjoyed reading a different translation (JPS) than I have in the past. Regardless of your beliefs, there is so much in here that serves as a foundation for Western literature and thought.
