I finished up skipping fairly big sections as the material lost relevance for me. I worked in the field of testing for years; some of Boris’s initial statements I disagreed with but then came round to as I could see his point of view. The book has a lot of depth and masses of cross referencing of some deep academic materials, BUT I’m not sure I could rocked up at the place quoting it as a bible.

You don't want to read this book. There are many good books about software testing. This is not one of them.
