No, I haven't taken up religion (agnostic, that's me)!
This year is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. On Sunday, Radio 4 devoted a whole day to readings by various actors.
I was transfixed. The simple strength of the writing (no unnecessary adjectives or adverbs here) and the rhythm of the language had me listening for hours.
Have a listen to a few of them, not only for the sheer pleasure, but also to learn a thing or two about good writing.
I particularly recommend episode five where Rory Kinnear and Adjoa Andoh read The Song of Solomon.
