For even faster reading, I suggest Owens 4 vol set.  I need to discipline 
myself
to expand vocab, and Owens is no lexicon, but for one fairly familiar with 
the 
text it's the fastest reference tool I know of.

Peace,
Doug

What he said.  Even if it's not very much, one or two verses, just
read it.  I would suggest using Holladay's lexicon for this type of
reading, because it's much easier to find nonverbal forms there
than in BDB and speeds things up considerably.  If you don't have
to spend half a day one one word because you can't figure out its 3-
letter root it gets discouraging.  With Holladay you don't have to do
that and reading goes much more smoothly.
