Recently I wanted to read the new testament but I want to read an edition with explanations or interpretations. What should I pick up? any recommended edition?
Also I have the old testament and I wondered what parts from it are in the new one, is it all the Torah books and then we proceed to the stories about Jesus? forgive my ignorance, I'm really curious about Christianity lately and would like some help.

Depends on what you want out of it or what you are looking for

I want to enjoy the story I can say. I don't really care much about the more religious aspect, but more about the stories themselves.
I would like interpretations about some of the stories or the characters as a side notes because I find it interesting. I learned bible at school (Jewish bible) and we would learn interpretations about the stories and the experience was more "complete" with it, much better then to just read the whole thing in my opinion.

Do you care for poetic form? If so, KJV
If not, I don't know :)

What does this even mean?

KJV is good, but I do like the NKJV a bit better. Preserves much of the original poetic form, but using modern English. Makes it a better read I think. After the New Testament I would continue with Ecclesiastes, Job, and Proverbs. Then the rest of the old Testament when you have time.
