I have tried a number of times to read the damned thing but the fact is it is such awful drivel that it is impossible to get into. The bible...which is a piece of shit...is well-written by comparison.
The trick is to start from the back and work your way to the start. A lot of people don't realize that all that junk you read at the start is thrown away at the end so you just waist your time. Abrogation 2:106 and
16:101) "When We exchange one verse for another, and Allah knows best what He reveals, they say, 'You are making this up.' Most of them do not understand." (The part about making things up is sometimes translated more like: 'Allah lies to them because he knows best')
The quran is literal book so you only have to worry about going out of context and getting mistranslations, and HOLY HELLFIRE OF ALLAH will you have a HARD time putting things like hate messages to Jews into context.
