Reading manuscripts is one of the best ways to get into textual criticism and even theology of Scripture because it forces you to deal with what an actual person actually did for someone's actual Bible. It doesn't allow you to make assumptions about what you think should have happened and assume that the evidence will simply prove you right.
Dr. Jacob Peterson has created a wonderful website that takes readers who can read printed Greek texts from easy Greek manuscripts on to harder ones.

Just today, I stepped into the main room of CNTTS and saw that our newest employee was being trained on this website before he starts next week.
If you've ever wanted to be able to read the manuscripts themselves instead of relying on others to tell you what they say, I recommend xeirographa.com (with an x, not a χ).
