If you don't like the idea of not sleeping for almost 15 years, here's an alternative plan. If you dedicated "only" 12 hours per day to read Wikipedia and you read at average reading speed of 300 words per minute, it would take you 30 years to read 1447 volumes of Wikipedia. For Howard Stephen Berg it would take 130 days or a little bit more than 4 months.

Someone had a post on here about this; search for it. It's interesting. :)
wikipedia started in 2001. that's 9 years of existance (don't say fail quite yet, my calculations are gonna prove something other than 2010-2001=9!)
so in 9 years there have been 3.4 mil articles. which means 3,77,777 a year.
So if it takes you 14.5 years to read all of wiki, there will be another 5,288,888 articles to read!
This means that you will forever be playing catch up as it takes less time to publish articles than it does to read them.
So, not that I wish to deter the nutter who is going to read all of wiki, but it cannot actualy be done!

Of course, large number of articles will be modified by the time you finish reading, so you will have to re-read everything, which makes catching up impossible. What is possible, however, is to read the entire 2010 print of Wikipedia. If you printed it all now, you can finish it in 30 years if you read for 12 hours per day.
