It's all about "redeeming the time," as you well know. Forget about quantity - reading is not a race to see how many books you can read in a year. Concentrate exclusively on quality - read the best books, on any subject. If it takes you two months to get through a book, so what? Even if you hadn't read that particular book, you'd still be two months older anyway, right? Only in this way will you be truly edified.
