The whole thing? No. Have I had times where I have read it without really paying attention? Yes. Have I neglected my devos? Yes. Have I understood everything I have read? No. Have I reread parts millions of times, but ignored others? Yes

Yes several times. I usually read a chapter or two each day. Sometimes if I read a phrase or verse that really speaks to me I'll write a note in the corner or edge of the page. What is really interesting is when I come back a year or more later and see how God worked a certain problem out in my life. Example: Matt 2:13 "when then they (the wise men) were departed" the angel appeared to Joseph telling him to take Mary and the Baby Jesus and flee to Egypt. My thoughts were close timing on the part of God. I made note of that and whispered, God you know I'm going to move. Help me so everything works out. A year later I read that passage and was reminded how God had worked everything out for me in my 1,000 mile move that year and helped me settle into a new home. Again He worked out the timing. It's this kind of reading and meditating that makes Bible reading meaningful.

I have several versions, even a Hebrew-English Old Testament and a Greek-English New Testament. I have read the vast majority of the Bible (not quite all of the Old Testament), plus several apocryphal books. But I do not accept the Bible as the word of God.

I've got several bibles and I've read them all. I like comic books too as well as forbidden books about witchcraft and sorcery. My favorite current read is "A Course In Miracles" as far as Christian literature is concerned and for the somewhat less ecumenical reading pursuits I'm learning more about scoring musical notations. God has blessed me mightily, by leaving me free of hypocrisy; yet still I enjoy indulging in it; it's enough to make a Good Christian throw a fit!!!

Yes. I have a King James Version Bible and I have read and studied it either with my family or on my own for as long as I can remember.

Yes I have a Bible and I read a verse everyday. The Bible is not meant to be read as a novel. Reading a verse or passage a day or as you need guidance is how the Bible is intended.

Yes.
Only bits, not for spiritual guidance. I tried once to read it like a novel or textbook, but didn't get out of Genesis.
