If I never read another word of scripture again (which won't be the case) I will still have probably read and studied more than most people would in two lifetimes.  I was an avid student and teacher of scripture for many years and even have a lot of scripture memorized (even the whole book of Philippians).  I think scripture is valuable and still read it at times but not on a regular schedule.  There came a point where I had made an idol out of scripture and was turning it into something that it wasn't meant to be.  In addition I think most people read scripture without taking original language and historical context into consideration and end up doing a lot of damage to themselves and others by not understanding the message.
