My church read the New Testament as a whole these past two and a half months. Although I had probably read about 95% of it already as a consequence of being a churchgoer for all of my literate life, reading it in its entirety in such a relatively short period was a new and enlightening experience. I was surprised that I could actually keep up with the reading schedule, which was three to five chapters a day.
Our syllabus treated the four gospels as a separate "track" from the rest of the NT, so on the first day of the New Testament Challenge we started with Matthew and Acts and went on from there. Reading Jesus' life parallel to the establishment of the early church in the immediate aftermath of his death brought illumination to both familiar accounts. Jesus' birth, ministry and death never diminished in poignancy as we essentially read about it four times in a row.
The book of Acts especially benefited from not being read one chapter at a time. It was much easier to maintain continuity, and the ministries and exploits like Paul became much more exhilarating. I really recommend reading larger sections of the Bible on a regular basis!
