How long did it take you to read the whole Bible?

I've read it through multiple times. One time I read it through (every waking moment) and it took less than 6 weeks to complete. I say 6 weeks because I can't remember right now how long it was, but I remember it was weeks and it's possible it took 2 or 3 weeks.

Many times.

I'm not sure. But probably up to a year and a half. Sometimes maybe longer.

As soon as I am done, I start again.

Yes. I don’t know how long it took. I think it was little less than a year. I’m trying to read it again, now, but don’t know if I’ll finish. Also, I reverted back to Catholicism so I might switch Bibles. If I do that it will take longer. That and I’m reading it more slowly this time and reading less as long daily.

How do you get through parts like Numbers etc.? Those parts bored me but I still finished.

About 10 months to read the whole thing through doing about 4 chapters a day.
I have no idea how many times I have read the Bible through, maybe ten or twelve times.
I've also read the New Testament in a month.

Yes, I am the same. Any lists or repetitious information can be boring. When I get to those places, I read less at one sitting. I don't set myself to read a certain amount every time, or to read the whole Bible by a certain time.

I am in the habit, once I see I'm growing tired of reading, to stop at the first chapter after I turn the page. That way I always know where to start next time.

I put a check mark in pencil at where I need to start reading next time, then when I go to read, I erase the check mark.

Yes, I've read the Bible through in multiple translations. NIV, ESV, NASB, and NLT. It usually takes 10 months or so
