That's an admirable goal, but it is only realistic if you're reading certain things.
50 or more books a year if you're reading books like this

I suggest you all read this book. It's forecasting the next era, the next fifty to one hundred years.

Creating excuses is easier than executing your ideals and ambitions.
If you want to read mammoth books on Evolutionary Theory be my guest, otherwise please leave the thread with your distractions.

I'm not making excuses, but you seem not to want to acknowledge the obvious, which is that how many books it is possible or realistic to read a week depends in part on which books you're reading.

Speed reading would cut that time in half, and either allow you to read more, or honestly say that you read (finished) anything at all. But niggas have already resorted to finding fault with speed reading itself instead of their own inabilites.
Only reading one or two words at a time (or worse, actually looking at each word), saying the words in your head as you read (at the speed that you talk, at that), poor reading comprehension, losing your place -- all bad reading habits that most people are never set straight on because we generally read to ourselves, most of the time..
Literacy is one of the many skills people never feel the need to sharpen, many of the reasons why will be expressed here in this thread.
Marcus Garvey, Message to the People, The Course of African Philosophy,” edited by Dr. Tony Martin
Lesson 1: One must never stop reading. Read everything that you can read, that is of standard knowledge. Don't waste time reading trashy literature. The idea is that personal experience is not enough for a human to get all the useful knowledge of life, because the individual life is too short, so we must feed on the experience of others.
Lesson 2: Read history incessantly until you master it. This means your own national history, the history of the world, social history, industrial history, and the history of the different sciences; but primarily, the history of man. If you do not know what went on before you came here and what is happening at the time you live, but away from you, you will not know the world and will be ignorant of the world and mankind.
Lesson 3: To be able to read intelligently, you must first be able to master the language of your country. To do this, you must be well acquainted with its grammar and the science of it. People judge you by your writing and your speech. If you write badly and incorrectly they become prejudiced towards your intelligence, and if you speak badly and incorrectly, those who hear you become disgusted and will not pay much attention to you, but in their hearts laugh after you.
Lesson 4: A leader who is to teach men and present any fact of truth to man must first be taught in his subject.
Lesson 5: Never write or speak on a subject you know nothing about, for there is always somebody who knows that particular subject to laugh at you or to ask you embarrassing questions that may make others laugh at you.
Lesson 6: You should read four hours a day. The best time to read is in the evening after you have retired from your work and after you have rested and before sleeping hours, but do so before morning, so that during your sleeping hours what you read may become subconscious, that is to say, planted in your memory.

Props to the op's goal. I know for a fact speed reading is not my style. The only time I was able to finish a book in a week is when I took off from my job for a week. I didn't plan anything, just need time for myself. Decided to rent a book from the library. Finished that same week. For me, it is a time issue. I also like to take notes of the characters so I remember who they are. My goal would probably be a new book every 3 weeks. I'm currently studying for my ccna so it would probably be longer. But at the very least, I would be reading.
