Book of Mormon in a Day
Is it possible to read the Book of Mormon in one day?
If so has anyone here done it? What was the verse(chapter) per minute(hour) rate needed to complete it?

I probably could if I really tried (fast reader, a 540-page book in a day is doable for me), but I don't guarantee that I'd retain a lot.
 (Much denser material than the average novel)

No idea. Never thought about doing it. Doesn't seem like the kind of book you'd just want to read all in one day. I have a hard enough time comprehending and understanding a chapter a day sometimes let alone the entire book.

Sort of did it in two days, but that was skimming through narrative story looking for doctrinal passages. I wasn't interested in the historical story but what doctrines were being espoused. Can't say I have a great grasp of just how was doing what to whom or how they were related to each other.
On the other hand did get a giggle out of several passages which appeared to be addressed quite humorously at certain other groups. The whole election and rameumptom thing could be seen as a very witty jib at Calvinists. ( If you read the BoM as a Gulliver's Travels, aimed at various doctrines and groups.)

Islander, knowing your story, I think there is a difference between feeling the Spirit so strongly that you just HAD to finish it..and someone just wanting to read it all in one day. I think "Spirit" is the key word here.

Did he? I have no problem with someone wanting to read it in a day. I just know that for me..I wouldn't get a thing out of it.
