I have been reading from it for at least a couple of years once a week at my Bible study. There are usually at least half a dozen of us participating, each reading a different version/translation of Scripture; we compare differences and have lively discussions over them. When there is a question regarding which translation is closest to the original language, NJB is often the one, as determined by our study facilitator, who reads both Hebrew and Greek 
Aye, it has the Roman Catholic stamp of approval.
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is an English-language translation of the Bible published in 1985 by Darton, Longman and Todd and Les Editions du Cerf, edited by the Reverend Henry Wansbrough and approved for use in study and personal devotion by Roman Catholics. The New Jerusalem Bible includes the deuterocanonical books and sections.
Deuterocanonical sections of books in the Hebrew canon are identified by the use of italics. This version of scripture is translated directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic.
The NJB's New Testament is translated from the Novum Testamentum Graece 25th ed., with occasional parallels to Codex Bezae. Its Old Testament is drawn from the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with Septuagint, and the Deuterocanon from the Septuagint with Vulgate influence.
When the French version was updated in 1973, the revisions were substantial. The revised version is said to be less literary but, for the most part, more literal. The introductions and footnotes, translated almost entirely from the French, have also been thoroughly revised and expanded, making it one of the most scholarly editions of the Bible. From wiki

Thank you Magenta! Now that was a thorough answer.
Wiki has its uses And you know I do not approve of the heresies of the RCC, and yet I do like reading this version of the Bible at my weekly study, which follows the liturgical year. On the other hand, if it were the only text being read, I may mix it up more or just select something else, but multiple versions are always being read at the same time The people I study with do not share my beliefs for the most part, nor do I fellowship with them outside the study, but I do very much enjoy our time together, and getting in some study time with them, which is more a critical analysis of the text rather than a devotional study. And you know it is funny what people want to assume about others, for on one of my other sites, a non-believer argued and argued with me about whether or not I was engaged in a critical analysis of the text. He seemed to think that anyone who did that could not actually be a believer at the same time LOLOLOL
It is more readable than King James, which I do also like but rarely quote from since
so many seem to have difficulty with it. And I cannot for the life of me off the top of
my head recall how much study (at the bottom of the pages, right?) is in the Bible
I read from. Perhaps the Bible I am reading from is not a study version? However, it is
definitely the New Jerusalem Bible that I select every week for my reading at my group.
