Bible reading

Hi virtual reader,

I recently read through the Bible in a short period of time ( a little more than a book a day).  It struck me, esp. in Genesis, how it read like the story of family.  It's a story, an interesting one, and it's written in plain, direct, understated language.  It's not like reading about mythological gods who are more like humans with super-sized apetites.  Reading it in large chunks helped me appreciate the drama, with God and this one particular family at the center of the action.
