Well you know its important, but ask yourself this question : why is it important to
you? What compelled you to read the bible in the first place? What about it you see will help your walk in this life? What about God you actually want to know?
If your answer is either because others said so, or because of ritual, then thats not making the Word personal for you. The bible is about God and the story of you, everyone mentioned in the bible all have their own story that you can relate to, and teaches you how to properly view this life. Also pray about it, pray what you would like to know and ask God to guide you.
I think it will help you to get a quick sense of the overall view of the bible so that you know more of which parts you want to focus more on. But again, its a personal cohesive book, so treat it personally and take your time.You're not being quizzed on how much you know, but how well you know it and apply it to your life.
The Bible Project channel on youtube is a great audiovisual overviews of the bible as well as a website filled with study guides and visuals and Q+A in case you want to dive deeper.
