Can you show your work for how you arrived at this range of values?



Not OP. But suppose you read books from when you are 10 until you are 70. How many books a year? For me, 5-10. Now multiply.


That doesn't seem to be a matter of "not enough time" but "not going to read many books."


Well, everybody is different but I have a stack of to-be-read that I just never get time for. (Almost done How I Wish I'd Taught Maths and next is A Nation of Deadbeats.)


Agree, I can do several books a week if I'm motivated and they're excellent enough to keep me engaged.
