Less often than I should.

I decided on a whim in 2014 to finish reading the entire Bible by the end of the year. I did a lot of reading in December and managed to finish it around 11:15pm on December 31st. Tongue  Of course the deadline was arbitrary and meaningless and I would obviously have done better to do it slowly etc etc but I need to impose deadlines if I'm ever going to get myself away from the computer and actually do it. It also meant that at one point I was reading Douay-Rheims translation of the book of Ezekiel on my smart phone while proctoring a thermo exam, which I find interesting in that it's such a specific set of things that I might actually be the only person who has ever done that.

I basically did no Bible reading from then until Lent, apart from that for my Bible study (does it "count" for the purposes of this question if it isn't alone?). I've been slacking this summer too, mainly because I've been reading more philosophy (about hylemorphic dualism) that has captivated my interests. I always go in spurts with these sorts of things unless they find their way into a prayer routine, but Bible reading isn't there right now.
