Right now I am averaging 1 to 2 books per week (because I'm only working part time this summer), working full time it would be more like 0.5 to 1 per week.
I find for something with a narrative structure, in a normal book format, I expect to spend about 1 minute per page -- very approximately.
For example, I bought "Night Train To Lisbon" at 2AM last Saturday night to read as I was falling asleep, and I finished it around 2AM last Sunday. At 470 pages, ~ 8 hours of reading, not that different than a normal work day worth of "effort" on Sunday.
For me, the most important thing is finding books that interest me -- that is why I would decide to spend an evening reading instead of other solo downtime like watching tv or a movie, or gaming.
