[Feature Request] Reading Goals

I thinking today of a feature somehow built into Marvin that would allow for the reader to input values based on whatever their reading goals are for a day, week, maybe even a month, or year if you set goals that long term.

For example, "I'd like to read X number of words every [day/week/month]." And have the app show the reader how many words they've read that day/week/month, and each time they open the app, they can see how many they have left for their daily/weekly/monthly goal.

The same can be done for X number of minutes to read per day. I would think those 2 inputs would the the most widely versatile between devices, whereas something like pages would vary if it's iPhone or iPad, and percentage would vary greatly with each book, though perhaps that could still work on a book by book basis.

I just think it would be good for motivational purposes.

Oh, and maybe the functionality could be taken a step further, and Marvin could even automatically break down a daily/weekly amount of words to read in order to achieve a certain book goal. For example, selecting X number of books and then a date of which you'd like to complete them all, and have Marvin suggest a daily goal to reach to complete them all?

How difficult would this be?

Thanks!
