not restricting your sleep pattern to 5 hours a night and reading as much as physically possible

About 25-50.
Depends on how much I feel like reading and/or how busy I am.
100+ if I'm re-reading, as I tend to skim or skip altogether scenes that I clearly remember.

You could learn to speed read but your comprehension will take a tanking until you get really good at it.
