^^ i had to read ulysses in a hurry for a college course and found the irish tapes on the basement of georgetown university and listened to them that way as i read.
but anna karenina i read episodically like a good XIX century novel should be.
as for the bible-- it depends. the gospels were written for morons so you can read them in no time.
genesis and exodus are fun mythical shit. except for the begats. begat begat begat.
the book of numbers however--ha! i triple-dog dare you.
there is a lot of dense bureaucratic bullshit in the jewish bible. i don't think anybody except for yeshiva students has ever read those pages.
