The Bible in a Year follows something similar by having people read something from the OT, plus something from Psalms/Proverbs, plus something from the NT. I actually prefer the way The Bible In 90 Days approaches this better: Cover to Cover. Why? Because of context. I think it would be much easier to get and understand not just the immediate context of what you're reading, but also the grand context (The redemptive history of God) by reading it start to finish. I actually just ordered The Bible in 90 Days -- which is just an NIV split into Daily sections of 12 pages each along with the workbook and Weekly DVD lessons. I get a nice discount from Zondervan. :) I plan to start soon, but was doing a little pre-reading of exegesis and hermeneutics before I started (though there won't be much time to anything in-depth with the text, when you're reading at the pace required).
