I enjoy the New American Standard Bible (NASB). It's easy to read and is very similar to the King James Version (KJV). Others I know enjoy the New King James Version. I recommend starting in the new testament and reading Matthew through Romans if you are a first time reader. Read those several times through and see what the Bible (the Word of God) has to offer!
