I was big into KJV, but the NRSV is really, really good.

Are there certain Bibles for certain denominations? Would a Catholic and a Lutheran read a different version or just interpret it differently? I'd like to read all the desert chronicles. Does the Quran, Life of Mohammed, and the Hadith have the same multiple versions process to go through? Is there anything other than the OT I need to read for Judaism?

I don't know about protestants, but, in short, catholics should read a translation of the Vulgate, preferably one made before the Council Vatican II.

I can't recommend specific translations because I've never read the Bible in english.

>Are there certain Bibles for certain denominations?
Duh.
>Would a Catholic and a Lutheran read a different version or just interpret it differently?
Luther removed books from the Bible.
>Does the Quran, Life of Mohammed, and the Hadith have the same multiple versions process to go through?
There are multiple translations in English of the texts, obviusly more so for the Qur'an, translations of the Qur'an come with commentaries according to the particular denomination. Collections of Hadith vary according to the denomination, thus the biographical account of Muhammad and Islamic jurisprudence.
>Is there anything other than the OT I need to read for Judaism?
A rabbi, a Jewish community, endless books of the Talmud, the Halakha, excruciatingly difficult Kabbalistic texts, spending your entire life learning Hebrew and the literature and jurisprudence written in it.
>I'd like to read all the desert chronicles.
Just read The New Oxford Annotated Bible With Apocrypha and The Study Quran with The Cambridge Companion to the Qur'an.

Catholics have books in the bible that were never a part of it, and nowadays claim the protestants "rip pages out of the bible" for not putting said books in it. Ironic, considering if it wasnt for the prots the catholics wouldnt even be allowed to read a bible.
