Cover to cover. Go big or go home, nerd.
You'll hate the last three books of the tanakh, but if you can read that front to back, the rest is a nice, enjoyable breeze.
Mason Parker
The whole thing

Not OP, but I've just started the Bible and it's unironically triggering me. Isn't this supposed to be life affirming?

No????

I'm reading the KJ right now, why is Jesus such a sassy asshole?
>While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
>Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
>He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
>The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
>If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
>And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Of course it's worth reading. It can be one of the most rewarding experiences you have if you put in the work. You have to approach it like any other ancient literature regardless of what you believe. That means putting it into context by looking at the authors of the books and the intended audience, the writing styles, the language, the genre, the themes, and so on. People wouldn't approach any other 2000+ year old text without commentary from scholars yet for some reason they feel perfectly capable of jumping into the bible by themselves. Don't fall into that trap.

From what I remember about my shitty, ,Episcopal education 10+ years ago the Bible is the most terrifying, depressing book of all time if it's true.
