As a percentage of an actual Bible. Specific version does not matter; take the percentage of whichever one you read.

I'll estimate that I've read about 30% of a King James Version of the Bible, with plans to read up to 52%. I've read the Gospels several times, plus numerous Bible summaries and commentaries.

Edit: Blast! Because there are 101 numbers from 0 to 100 it was impossible to make all options perfect increments of 10. The last option holds one extra number.

I've read the whole thing but not straight-through at once. This was back when I was trying to be a believer, and the thing was just so fucking stupid I had to put it down in order not to burst into laughter in church. Then I'd pick it up later, and lather, rinse, repeat until giving up and coming out of the atheist closet.

My 100 % include the Apocrypha. They weren't in my school and confirmation Bibles (1917 text) but I inherited Grandfather's confirmation Bible, and there they were, and now they're back in "Bibel 2000".

I've read the KJV, KJVR, NSV, CC, Douay Rhimes as well as the Pseudepigrapha's.
