I didn’t say it was an easy read. For good or for bad - those books require efforts.
But once you dig to at least 1% of the stories and ideas - you save weeks skipping tons of shallow books out there.

Besides, if all you’re trying to do is compress lessons in story writing then you’re better off skipping the Bible and picking up a collection of kids stories - particularly for ages 6 and below because those will often also follow the same lessons of morality to help children understand how to interact in a modern society and are only a few short pages long so much quicker and easier to read than the Bible :P
The only reason I see to read the Bible is if you have a specific interest in the history of Christianity. Even Christians these days pick an choose which parts of the Bible to read and then distil those down into short stories and songs rather than reading the texts in full.
Thanks to the bible, i can focus on and admire the rest 1% of truly worthwhile books.
In other words it makes me better prepared as a reader, as I did my homework
It is lamentable if true. They don't know what they miss.
