Be honest and satisfy my curiosity.
You don't have to go into any detail as to what you have and/or haven't read unless you so desire. There is no wrong answer.
In the past 4 years I have read the Bible 3 times in it's entirety in addition to several individual books/epistles that I've read on my own accord (ie. outside of my "devotional reading").

The second option that reads "I've read it once in it's entirety selections" What I actually typed there was "I've read it once in it's entirety + selections", but apparently the polling wizard doesn't accept that figure (+). |

I can honestly say I’ve read all the psalms more than once (some even as readings in church, we take turns, someone gets picked each week).
Never the whole bible front to back yet though.

Same as Luke - The whole thing once and multiple times for certain sections.

I have never sat down to read the bible from cover to cover, so I can't claim to have read all of it.
I heard a suggestion once to underline in your bible each passage that you read, since most people don't read it from cover to cover but rather parts and passages from time to time. I've always been curious to do that just to find out how much of it I do read in a given year, but I have not done it yet.

See now I was raised that to mark on a bible in any way was defacing & a form of sacrilege.
Though I’ve seen the Rev do it with his own (though I think they have a special issue version)
Any ideas on writing in the bible other than what I’ve expressed?

As far as I know yes.
I think only a few have rebuffed the Gideon’s in this age of PCedness

Whole thing + selections ... but not in years. I don't think I even own an Old Testament. I figure if I need to look something up at some point, there's this little thingy called the Internet that lets me keep all kinds of useless information at my fingertips.  How the hell did the admeisters come up with Satanic Bible Binding as appropriate for this page? [cue up that R.E.M. track we all know by heart ...] it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine ... |

HÉ! It is not the book(paper and ink)in itself that is sacred
but the message it wants to carry ...
