So don't worry about a page amount at first as some books require more time per page then others.

I started by reading for 15 minutes a day and if I wanted to continue I would.

As far as books you should be reading. Read books that you enjoy. When I was younger I blew through James Patterson books. Which led to me reading Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy. Now I'm reading classics like Dostoyevsky and contemporary works by Murakami and ishiguro

Okay thanks, how do you retain all the information in the book you read?

If it's a fiction book then I'll make a list of themes on a sheet of paper I use as a bookmark. I don't like marking up my books because then I start to think everything is important and kind of kills the flow of the book.
