I've been reading my UBSGNTre on a periodic basis and when I work on sermon prep. I'm going to try out this calendar to see if I can maintain a more consistent schedule. I hope that you'll consider this too!
Here are some highlights from Irons' Introduction to the reading program with pertinent links.

The Program
There are 260 chapters in the Greek New Testament. Of these, 74 chapters are 38 verses or longer: Matt 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 21-27; Mark 1, 4-6, 8-10, 12, 14, 15; Luke 1-12, 18-24; John 1, 4-13, 18, 19; Acts 2, 5, 7-10, 13, 15, 16, 19-21, 27; Rom 8; 1 Cor 7, 14, 15; Heb 10, 11. To read the Greek New Testament in a year, read one chapter per day. Chapters that are 38 verses or longer may be divided and read over two days. This method yields a total of 334 (260 + 74) daily readings. It also allows you to take 31 days off each year.
