lol, what a fascinating thread/responses.

I've read bits of the Bible and the Koran along the way, well, more the former than the latter, but they do have some intriguing stories/writing. If you get the chance to look at how the Bible was compiled, it also makes for some interesting readings of the good book. Some of the 'action scenes' can get pretty interesting too, some of the deaths along the way are pretty, I shouldn't say humorous, so let's say imaginative.

have tried to read it...i made it a goal to finish it from cover to cover but gave up somewhere aroung page 10

Eventually? Yes. During your HSC year? No.
An important and influential book. I think it's important to be at least slightly familiar with the religious texts of the major religions. However, while being the most influential book in the world, it's also quite possibly the longest (and scariest) book in the world.

I read the Children's Illustrated Bible when I was about eight. The emerging atheist (I was raised a Catholic) in me just thought "okay, some of these stories are pretty cool" and that's the full extent of it.

I believe you should read this lovely illustrated version of the Bible:

The Gospels are written quite cleverly though, and it has historical/social value.
