The Bible is a thick book - even on thin paper !
You can sit down and read it from end to end - but you have to be very determined, and you won't necessarily understand it any better, because the Bible is a collection of documents by many authors; and some of these are themselves compliations.
Browsing is better, and some people find it helpful to browse to a plan which is used in many churches to determine which parts of the Bible are read in services.
This page sets out the current lectionary readings, and links to an online Bible giving the text in a modern translation
