The New Testament is really important to keep the rest in context. I don’t know if you’re done yet or not, but I totally agree with Josh.

Read it - as with everything else - with an open mind and with respect; only then will reading it be worth it and only then will it give you the insight you seek. Otherwise you'll just end up wasting a really big chunk of your time.

I would recommend reading the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) or the TNIV (Today's New International Version) they're going to be easier to get through as they follow the greek/hebrew/latin texts as a phrase for phrase or thought for thought translation rather than NASV which can get a bit hung up with words and will certainly make for a slower read. I would also suggest if I could that once you make it through the Torah (jewish holy books: Genesis, exodus, leviticus, numbers deuteronomy) that perhaps you might be better off to skip through lots of the history books and read the new testament and then go back and fill in the middle. The new testament will help keep the middle in context. I think that if your plan is to read through the bible as a book choosing the NASV is probably not your best choice.
