I started a reread of the bible last October since the first (and only) time I read it was 12 years ago and I remember exactly nothing from it. The way I was doing it was on my lunch breaks at work. I had a choice: I could go running and reduce the amount of the bible I had to read that day or I could take the day off of running and spend a whole hour melting my brain. I ran every day until Christmas break. Then I took the book home and it hasn't made it back to work yet. 
I got through Leviticus and only skipped the pages and pages of begats (such a waste of time). So far in my reread the only part that I actually enjoyed was the story of Joseph and his brothers - but mostly because I wanted Joseph to enslave them for being assholes. Everything else has been pulling-teeth painful to get through.
I should get back to it, but there are so many more interesting and better written things to read I find it very difficult to go back to that piece of crap. It'd certainly get me motivated to go running on my lunch breaks again.
