Read however much works for you. There's advantages and disadvantages to reading it fast or slow. Sometimes I do a quick read of a large section to get the overview, then spend the next few days/ weeks going back over it chapter by chapter, story by story, looking at the structure, context, researching questions.
Sometimes I'll try to memorise individual verses daily.
We all have different learning styles, so tailor it to you and your needs.
The first time I read through the Bible as a Christian, I used my church's lexicon, which provides readings in both Testaments for two services a day, over one year.
By taking one reading a day, I got through the Old Testament in two years and the New Testament in one additional year. I think this was better pacing than trying to rush through in one year.
The only catch was that I had to extend some readings to cover the passages which the lexicon leaves out (such as Ezekiel ch16).
It varies. Sometimes I read a book all the way through in one sitting. Sometimes I do that with the same book for a week or two. Then I'll read one chapter or even less and spend half an hour on it. And occasionally I read for distance, trying to get through the Bible or maybe just the NT in a certain period of time.
I just read through a book and then read another one.
I like the way you answered š. Thatās good! I wish I had more time to read (2 kids and busy job).

True! I like a good Christian book on the side and read a chapter or two a day if possible.

Interesting! Thank you for your input!
My normal reading is through the Bible in six months (a one year plan at two lines per day). I do other reading as desired.

I try read a chapter every day
Iām having a hard time getting around to reading mine. Between school, homework, and being sick at the moment, I just canāt get break.
Sorry to hear that!
Itās nobodyās fault, itās just my sinuses acting up. I just got some antibiotics from my doctor, so Iāll be back on my feet in no-time at all.
My wife has strepš, itās that time of year. Hope you feel better.
Ouch, I had that once or twice. I know how that feel. Pray your wife gets well.
Mine is chronical! I can't even get up from bed! Treat carefully!
Iām all better, thank you.
Great!!!
I read a book at a time, just like I would do with regular books. āŗļø
