Here is one source of choices in reading the Bible in a year.

I think it helps to always read one translation of the Bible.    Then when you keep reading you will find yourself remembering verses.

For instance I like the NKJV.

Much of my intense reading of scripture was as a younger man when I had a Thompson Reference Bible in KJV. To this day, I recall many verses ringing in my head…KJV.

Also, I still hav that little leather pocket Bible I carried everywhere I bought when I was 19.

Repetition creates habit.

I memorize through remembering segments first by repeating mentally and gradually adding onto the first segment I memorized. Even at my advanced age I can still memorize verses and it can become easier once you develop a system that works for you.

Begin writing a copy of Scripture for yourself.

Deuteronomy 17:18

“And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, approved by the Levitical priests."

I have the Bible on mp3 files and listen to it every day.

When I was growing up and pre-teen, one of my neighbors recorded himself reading the entire bible.  He said that way he could listen to it when he got old in his own voice.   Personally, I prefer Alexander Scorbey, but I would think he learned a lot recording it himself.

My advice is to read at your own pace. Memorization will come naturally over repeated readings. The second part of my advice is to not compare yourself to others. Some people's brains just retain information at a much faster or slower rate than others. Comparisons to the rate at which others work tend to be an exercise in ego or frustration, and at the end of the day you're reading and memorizing for your own benefit. So do it at a manageable rate. Test your comfort zone every now and then but overall once you find your personal rate you can start planning your efforts around that.

           These may encourage you.

"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee"     Psalm 119:12

      "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path"               Psalm 119:105
