In church last sunday we had Testimony Meeting, which is when members (and sometimes non-members) share their personal spiritual journey with the congregation.
A lot of the people who spoke in church talked about their re-reading of the Book of Mormon and what they learned. I felt kind of stupid because I have read the Book of Mormon repeatedly and I have also read the Bible all the way through once (except a few chapters featuring "King David, the man-whore") and everytime I start to read I get distracted, not by things outside of reading, but by what I'm reading...if that makes sense...
I read the scriptures too much like a book/or a novel and not like a study manual. I guess I'll have to end up going though the topical guide to "Study" more then read to get more out of it.

So I've been trying several things out. "Stop Reading" and the like in hopes of making reading more interesting. I find the most usefull method is to utalize the footnotes and look up related scriptures. It does make reading a bit more time consuming but it also helps me put things together better.
