I finish like two books a year so that says a fair bit about me, in that my habit is giving out to myself for not reading more.

Yeah, I think a goal can be okay as a rough benchmark for how much you would like to be reading generally. It's when the goal works to the detriment of your own enjoyment that it's an issue. I don't bother counting because I'm reading at a pace that works for me currently.

Yeah I don't know that I enjoy many books at all, it's usually that I want to have read them not that I want to read them
