This question resolves to a Yes if I successfully read Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus by the end of the Summer. And a No if I don't.
For background I am a college student on break and have been an agnostic atheist my entire life. I am also reading two bibles semi simultaneously, the Oxford Annotated NRSV Bible and the Skeptic's Annotated KJV Bible. I am also taking mild notes on anything I find interesting as I read. I am currently on chapter 38 of Genesis.

Each book takes like a week to read at most, so I suspect the answer will be yes. See also my post on the Bible here: https://eharding.substack.com/p/what-is-the-bible?s=w
https://www.amazon.com/Who-Shall-Ascend-Mountain-Lord/dp/0830826386 I know a rat-adjacent Christian (or maybe Christian Rationalist but I don't know if he would like that title) who really enjoyed this.
Reading the ritualistic parts of Leviticus (and Numbers) alongside Hebrews can be cool. I remember having a question like, "what's up with the red heifer?" (there is an entire chapter on it, Numbers 19) And then an "oh!!" when reading Hebrews 9:13, like, puzzle pieces.
