Daily Bible Reading

Right now, my wife and I are reading through the Bible, on a schedule to complete it in six months. We are currently in week number three. Along with another couple (our accountability partners, if you will), we decided to read through a different Bible translation every six months. To start off with, we are reading the New Living Translation. So far I have read all of Genesis, all of Job (we are doing a chronological schedule), and the first 15 chapters of Exodus. (I'm also running a little behind, but I'll catch up.) My thoughts on the NLT, so far - pretty happy with it, especially for straight reading of the Bible. Its a bit of a cross between an actual translation and a paraphrase, but as long as the reader knows this going in, I really don't have a problem with it. For study purposes I would always reference a more literal translation like the KJV or NASB, for example. As I read more of the Bible in this translation over the next few months, I'll let everyone know how I liked it.
