Reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days!

The challenge just re-began today. Read the BofM in 97 days. :)

At Hinckley Challenge | Read the Book of Mormon in 97 days

Taken from the main page;

President Hinckley often stressed our making the Book of Mormon part of our lives. He was 97 when he passed away, and we would like to celebrate his life and teachings by reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days.

President Gordon B. Hinckley on the Book of Mormon

"I take in my hand the Book of Mormon. I read its words. I have read Joseph Smith's explanation of how it came to be. To the unbelieving it is a story difficult to accept, and critics for generations have worn out their lives writing books intended to refute that story and to offer other explanations than the one given by Joseph the Prophet. But to the open-minded, this critical writing has only stimulated them to dig deeper; and the more deeply they dig, the greater the accumulation of evidence for the validity of Joseph Smith's story. Still, as has been demonstrated for a hundred and fifty years, the truth of the Book of Mormon will not be determined by literary analysis or by scientific research, although these continue to be reassuring. The truth about the origins of the Book of Mormon will be determined today and tomorrow, as it has been throughout the yesterdays, by reading the book in a spirit of reverence and respect and prayer."

(Praise to the Man, Ensigh, 1983. aug., 4)

I finally downloaded the Book of Mormon on mp3 so I'll be participating. When I can't read, I'll listen to it on the go. There is a similar thread to this on the boards, too. We can all join together.
