I am not sure how I feel about “X books this year” types of goals. Sounds like this could encourage reading thin, “quick” books. Why don’t people do something like “read for X hours a week” instead? Unless “Y books read” is the end-goal in itself (not thinking/learning), which would be a bit silly.
I use this goal and my average is above 300 pages per book but I do read the occasional shorter book (>100 pages). It's true for a while it disincentivized me from reading very large books but I've slowly gotten over that too. I just try to read the bigger books earlier on this year.
