As many as you sustainably can. Don't torture yourself with them, forming a habit is key.

a book every week is achievable and very good. after 10 years that's about 520 books

Quality over quantity. Get out of the Tai Lopez "I read 20 books a day" mindset
Stop trying to read "more" and just try to read better books better.
Don't read shitty feel good self help books.
Don't read shitty crime fiction.
Knowing more facts doesn't make you smarter.
Regurgitating someone else's thoughts also doesn't make you smarter.
You need to really think about the information you are taking in, the ideas the author is trying to convey. If you don't agree with the author's ideas that's actually a really good thing. It means you're actually thinking.

1.) don't read fiction
2.) don't try to 'read a book a day'
3.) don't be afraid to skim read books or only read a chapter/page/paragraph out of the whole book - this isn't fiction you don't have to read every book you buy cover to cover.
4.) marginalia. it's your book, write notes, scribble, underline, highlight, etc.
5.) all of bonus.) sometimes second hand books have marginalia from a previous owner, its a different perspective on what you read. every now and then buy the cheapest aka (most battered) copy of a book off amazon and you might learn something new. i bought a book on a specialist subject in my field and the previous owners notes were really insightful.

This is all horrible advice

Warren Buffett says he reads 500 pages a day.
