I have both of those, as well as the New International Version and a
King James Version, which I love just for the beautiful 16th century
English. My NRSV is the New Oxford Annotated version, which my pastor
jokingly calls the "Cheat Sheet Bible" in our Bible studies. :-)
I also use http://bible.gospelcom.net to compare with other translations
sometimes.

The books of Kings I found very intriguing. All that war and political
intrigue. :-)
Some of the Apocryphal books are fun, too. I loved Judith.

Yeah, there's just so many interesting things out there.
