Joe, regarding:

It is like an education. You buy a book, with your time spent reading it carefully, like the Bible I suppose, (there are very valuable things in the Bible) to help make life much richer.

modified as follows:

It is like an education. You buy a book, and with your time spent reading it carefully, you hope to help make life much richer. (Like the Bible I suppose, there are very valuable things in the Bible.)

I wonder about the need for parenthesis with the long sentence divided into two smaller sentences?


I can take parenthesis out to read:

It is like an education. You buy a book, and with your time spent reading it carefully, you hope to help make life much richer. Like the Bible I suppose, there are very valuable things in the Bible.

or:

It is like an education. You buy a book, and with your time spent reading it carefully, you hope to help make life much richer....like the Bible I suppose, there are very valuable things in the Bible.

(I may have been minimizing your speaking of the Bible in my mind when I put it in parenthesis. I was hearing it more of an afterthought so I stuck parenthesis around it.)

Just let me know how you want it done :)
