In response to the original question, I read the Book of Mormon and
I thought it was pretty bad.

Ideals are ideals, and they can be conveyed via coloring books or
Nabokov,
so I'm not really talking from that standpoint, but as pure literature,
the
book was something like the screenplay for Forrest Gump.

Symbolism seems to be repeated every page or so.

Again, nothing against the ideals, but just the way it was written and
presented made me feel like I was being approached by an ex-con
car salesman.

It seems strange to me that so many people are becoming Mormons
and sticking with the program after reading the tract.
Again, back to my earlier question...are there any statistics about
how many religious adherents actually read the literature their beliefs
are based on?
