It's true that the Bible is a big book and some of the translations are difficult to read but there is help available!
First, choose a translation that you can easily understand. Several are available so use www.biblegateway.com and read a few verses of each to see if you like it. The NIV (New Internation Version), The Message (NavPress), and the NAS (New American Standard) are my favorites.
Next, you need a plan. The Bible is too big to read without a plan. There are many plans available. You could check your local Christian bookstore or use a website like www.bibleplan.org which will allow you to sign-up for regular emails with your daily reading!
