Have read most of it, don't read it as often as I should right now. When it comes down to it, after you sift away most people's interpretation about what this detail means and what that implication is, it mostly speaks to relationships and how to have better relationships whether it be between you and God or you and your fellow man.
If you read it and assuming you believe in God, the bible says the greatest commandment is "to love The Lord your God with all your heart" and the second is "to love your neighbor as yourself." A lot of people get hung up on the commandments and by human nature, we don't like to be told what to and what not to do so they are put off by it. If you have a genuine love for your fellow man though, most of the commandments fall into place as the evidence of your love for your fellow man, you probably are less likely to kill people for example and thus your relationships with others is improved. That's kind of an extreme example but you get the point I'm sure.
Don't know where you stand but whether a person believes in God or not, anyone could stand to have improvement in their relationship with others, think what that would do to our crime rate in some areas. The relationships you then form with others are a great benefit.

I do, and I am an atheist btw. Why do I read the bible you ask? Well, it is a great piece of lit. I took a class once called "The bible as literature" in college and it was interesting.

I do read the Bible daily because I am saved by grace through faith and I want to change my ways to what God sees fit. The Bible shows me how bad I really am then shows me how great Christ was and teaches me with prayer how to live my life for the Lord.

No, because I was not brought up going to church or anything, so I just don't now.
