I believe you will have read most of the bible, the vast bulk of it, after three years.
The daily readings recycle every 2 years, and the Sunday readings recycle every 3 years. The readings for specific rituals such as funerals, weddings, baptisms, confirmations, etc. round out the set.
I am doing what you are doing, and I love it.
Have you noticed how the readings are connected thematically to one another and to the responsorial psalm?
I study the daily readings faithfully; reading them carefully prior to going to mass. After a time, you begin to feel the heartbeat of the liturgical year.

i also HIGHLY recommend the one year Bible. they make a catholic version now. i’ve been using one for about 8 years now, and have read through the entire Bible, every verse, about 8 times. it’s very close to the liturgical readings, and i usually find myself having read the same verse i hear in mass within the week.
it’s broken up into an OT reading, NT reading, a psalm and a proverb each day. you read through the Bible in a year, and through psalms and proverbs twice, as it starts over in the middle of the year.
the main reason i prefer it to any other method i’ve used is that it’s so EASY. i hate having to look things up, especially in the morning, when i’m kinda cranky anyway. this is so easy that even i do it every morning.
you can find one at your local christian bookstore, or online at amazon.com.
