Why 80 Days?

Why would anybody want to read the Bible in 80 days? 80 days is so very doable. I am tired of the stuff I hear from people all of the time about how hard it is to read the Bible. It is not hard to read the Bible.

I am planning to use a copy of the New International Version (NIV) that has 879 pages. This amounts to only 11 pages per day. "Yeah but you are not going to get anything out of the Bible if you read it that fast."

Wanna bet?
