Since the Bible is roughly divided into 59% Old Testament, and 41% New Testament, I would assume I read more Old Testament than New.
I read the Bible cover to cover using a reading plan, and I separately study a book from each Testament daily.

Definitely the Old Testament. I enjoy reading the old stories and seeing how they illustrate the New Testament truths and theology. Both Books are Inspired by God and he doesn't change. I enjoy the New Testament and it is good to know all that it has to say but the Old Testament holds a strong appeal to me.

New Testament.
I like Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, Psalms too.
I like Genesis 1 and 2--I don't go into the Old Testament much unless I have to.
But, here Recently, I Think GOD is wanting me to get more Involved with the Old Testament.

I follow a pattern of monastic prayer and reading of Holy Scripture. The Lectionary I used has a daily morning and evening reading from both the OT and the NT.
This Lent I am doing a reading/study through the Book of The Acts...so I'd say slightly more NT, for now.

I read more in the New Testament because that most of it is written to and for the Gentile People and teaches us how to recieve the Gospel of Grace and Jesus Christ's love to be Saves. Praise God

I read the New more, as it pertains to daily life more (for me).
But the Old Testament is foundational and precious too.

I enjoy reading the New Testament more, but I think you have to know your history to understand your future.

Both actually, although when I'm in the OT I usually gravitate towards Psalms and Proverbs as I find them easier to understand.

I don't know.....I never really thought about it. It's a good question though. If you asked me, I'd probably say the Old Testamen, just because I like Psalms and the book of Proverbs a lot.

read both, but it's more interesting to know what is ahead, then to know how many cubits the ark of covenant and tent was constructed by.
