Probably the main three reasons that people do not read the bible are because they think that they do not have the time, it's not relevant to them or it's for God's benefit and not theirs. These are not even good excuses, let alone truths but instead something that people say in order to excuse themselves. Consider this writing about the word of God, the sacred Scriptures or the Bible.

Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you
It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is it's grand subject, our good the design and the glory of God its end.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.
