And I work part time but that is 80% (one day a week off when I do two school runs) and have small son to attend to so basically I'm free to read on the metro or after 9 PM if housework doesn't call.

I can't imagine setting a goal for myself, it would frustrate me if I let it slip. I just want to see what actually is my average per year. My 19th book just arrived and I will download it soon.

It's not the "how long with how many, how frequent " that matters. What counts is the enjoyment of every unique experience in its own right.
