What's the best order to read the Bible for a first-timer?

I always assumed you should start at Genesis and go straight through to Revelation. That's what I did my first attempt, and I stalled hard in Leviticus.Someone in my church suggested starting with the Gospel of John, then Acts, then going back to Genesis. Another person said start with Proverbs and Psalms to build a daily habit first.What worked for you? Is there a "best" order or does it really depend on the person?
