I don't count reading part of the Bible as reading the Bible.

I'd say you've read the Bible if you've read it cover to cover.

But even then you don't have to. It's over 2 dozen books cosplaying as a single one. That, yes, does have a interconnected narrative. But I don't think one has to read *Psalms* (a book of Poetry) or *Songs of Solomon* (a book of romantic poetry) to get the full weight of let's say *Romans* or *the Acts*. Certainly someone who has read the whole thing is going to have a better understanding of the nuances in each particular book... But necessary? Nah.

I find two  most common criticism types that are just based on nonsense I've encountered are " taking Everything in the Bible as endorsed by God" and "disregard for the timeline of events

I agree 

But also if you claim it is the literal word of god you’d probably best read the whole damn thing.
