I have tried to read it...We are catholic as well....I do however have a bible for my kids that is sort of condensed and made for little ones and they like listening to it...so I have kind of read it:)

Hope to read a few more this year. I would just love to exceed my target of ten this year.
No killing of birds please! :'( :P I'm doing the same, gonna read the classics in this list first so to fulfill the classics 2013 challenge. I'm also a sucker for reading lists, what is it about book titles tidily lined up in order that makes me so eager? I wonder.
Mod
I assure you no birds were harmed in the reading of my books :)
