What happens if I studied the bible hard for two years, and consumed it day and night, and now I being a doer of the word and not really desiring to read it daily anymore, but still praying and loving god with all my hear.t?

It means you're still stuck in your superstitious belief. Though, perhaps a part of you, having read the Bible, sees that it is just superstitious nonsense and is sapping your desire to read further. It looks like you really want to believe it is true, but the facts don't support it and that bothers you, deep down.
Perhaps it is just time to admit the whole thing is nonsense and break away from your superstition. You'd be much happier that way.

It sounds like a kind of "spiritual burnout." In my experience, it's not uncommon. See if you can find another way to incorporate the Word of God into your daily life. Maybe just read one pslam a day, just once and let it wash over you. Or heck, God isn't going to freak out if you don't read the bible a couple days a week... maybe try reading some commentary or history or theology or something simply uplifting.
Whatever you do, if you are still loving God and praying and doing your best to live a good live, I think you're okay.

Looks like you're screwed. You need to keep reading the bible over and over in order for the brainwashing to stick.

It means you still have a brain and your not fully accepting the imperfect book called the bible.
Religion is silly dude. Live with your mind free and open.

Just as your physical body needs food,so does your spiritual body.The bread of life helps sustain it and keep it strong.Go ahead and quit reading the Bible for a while and you will see for yourself.

Remember, your salvation is not about what you do. It is about what God did to you.You want to be saved, He will save you.
I actually enjoy reading the Bible, I have never quite read it day and night.

There's a book by John Piper with this exact title. You should check it out.

You're human. These things go in phases. No one's a perfect Christian all the time. It's okay.

As long as you believe Jesus Christ died for you and you love God you will go to heaven.
