I would vote again for an audio Bible. I figured out that with my commute to work of about 20 minutes each way, I can go through the entire Bible 2 1/2 times a year. I don't think that this should replace regular, focused study. But, after a few years worth I imagine that your familiarity with the basic narrative and characters would be greatly improved. The only problem is that I couldn't find a version I really wanted. You are basically stuck with traditional Greek/English translations for now. Of those, I chose a New King James because I don't like the CT, and it was only about $15. If you are a NASB fan, they have this product as well for the same price.

With this as a backdrop, I prefer to go through studies theologically: Six months on soteriology, six months on eschatology, etc. I do this with books of the various topics from Amazon and comparisons between Biblical text that I trust (primarily Peshitta based at this point).
