My dad read the Bible ten times, and I want to do it in my lifetime. But it’s definitely tough getting through.

Anderson frames Bible reading as both an inherited aspiration and a demanding personal discipline. By invoking her father’s repeated readings, she suggests a family model of devotion or intellectual seriousness that she feels drawn to emulate. The admission that it is “definitely tough getting through” underscores the Bible’s scale, density, and interpretive difficulty, and it humanizes the gap between intention and follow-through. The quote also hints at a broader theme of self-improvement: measuring oneself against a loved one’s example while acknowledging the practical challenges of sustained, long-form reading.
