I tried to read the Book of Mormon.  I am an avid  reader  who found the
New Testament to range from  "fascinating"  to "dull but tolerable".  By
comparison,  the  Book of  Mormon  was far too  monotonous,  vague,  and
confusing to keep my interest.  I attempted to continue  numerous times;
also jumped ahead to supposedly  remarkable passages.  I still don't see
why so many  Mormons  swear by it, though it's  obvious, I guess, why so
many Christians swear at it.

Hoping for further discussion by fanatics of both flavors,
