tfurrows wrote [0] about picking up a copy of the English Standard
Version (ESV) Bible, a modern language translation by Crossway. It
just so happens that the ESV is my personal favorite translation
for casual bible reading. I like it so much, in fact, that
I sought out permission from Crossway to post the full contents of
the ESV on gopher.black. You can find it over here [1]!

DIR [1] ESV Bible
I love the New American Standard Version (NASV) as well, as it's
the one used in the Catholic mass in the US and it's a very good
literal translation. For study I bounce around between versions,
especially since my Greek and Hebrew aren't particularly strong
language skills. I need to review alternate translations to find
new ways at the text.
Anyway, tfurrows, I hope you enjoy the ESV. There's a fantastic
set of commentaries that goes with it which you can find online
for free. Or, if you're just reading through for fun, you are
welcome to use gopher!
