It doesn’t matter which version or which website or how long it takes. Just keep reading and when you’re done, you’re not done, read it again. I read it through several times and now I pick and choose depending on what pops into my head but I’ll probably start reading it through again in January.

Here’s the website I use and I listen to Max McLean.

I agree; the important thing to do is to keep reading Scripture; this is a plan that I have found helpful for myself (I find that I, personally, am better able to concentrate and focus on reading Scripture with this plan, and since I assume that I am not the only person with that problem, I thought others might be interested enough to give it a try.

It doesn't matter which version...

It does as far as how much to read before you are finished--Catholic and Orthodox Bibles include the so-called Apocryphal or deutero-canonical books of the Old Testament.

Older Protestant editions of the Bible also included those books, until the early 19th century. I think the Bible Abraham Lincoln read from as a boy included them.

Shakespeare was familiar with that material too--when he has Shylock say, "A Daniel! A second Daniel!" he's referring to a passage not in the book of Daniel found in Protestant editions (and Shylock, if he had been a real person, probably would have been unfamiliar with that passage as well).
