I always love going to the source. Let's encourage one another to read the Bible.
"Encourage one another and build each other up."
I would be fine with reading about 3 chapters a week.
Along the same lines, an idea came to me that we could do Bible Reading Plans.
Zondervan has several Bible Reading Plans. I was particularly thinking about their 2-week reading plans.
Here's an example of a 2 week Reading Plan:
Two Weeks on Prayers of the Bible
Day 1, Genesis 18: Abraham's plea for Sodom
Day 2, Exodus 15: Moses' song to the Lord
Day 3, Exodus 33: Moses meets with God
Day 4, 2 Samuel 7: David's response to God's promises
Day 5, 1 Kings 8: Solomon's dedication of the temple
Day 6, 2 Chronicles 20: Jehoshaphat prays for victory
Day 7, Ezra 9: Ezra's prayer for the people's sins
Day 8, Psalm 22: A cry to God for help
Day 9, Psalm 104: A prayer of praise
Day 10, Daniel 9: Daniel's prayer for the salvation of Jerusalem
Day 11, Habakkuk 3: A prophet's prayer of acceptance
Day 12, Matthew 6: The Lord's prayer
Day 13, John 17: Jesus' prayer for his disciples
Day 14, Colossians 1: Paul's prayer of thanksgiving
Here's their website for more Reading Plans:

We wouldn't have to do the reading in exactly 2 weeks; we could spread it out over a longer period of time. I thought I would mention this, because it's sometimes nice to read more areas of the Bible. I'd also be good with just picking a book in the Bible and reading it. The 1, 2, 3 books of John are a great place to start.

Why Rustproof Treasures?
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
~ Matthew 6:19-21
