The best way to start is to read the last book first. Revelations is kick ass. Then you do Genesis and a few other follow on books - then bounce up to some of the more refined prophets while dashing in and out of Proverbs and The Psalms. Then read Mark first and the other three Gospels and Acts. Skip St. Paul and his street theology and finish up with the grand gibberish in a few of the minor prophets, Job, just for laughs, the Song of Solomon, for the erotica, and end with the flourish of Ecclesiastes. This misses some books but you get the meat. I'm speaking here to the more morbid Protestant Text of the Bible. The Catholics bung in a few more story telling books and supposed wisdom but they are mostly silly and detract from the true Luster of the Bible in all its gorgeous rabidity.
You owe me 50 shekels for the above advice. You are welcome.
