Week:
Several years ago I decided that I would do my utmost to read a book a week, because I felt like I was getting out of the habit of reading new things and I thought that having a goal to aim for would help. The effort paid off, and it's something I've kept up (off and on) ever since -- it encourages me to read more widely, and it helps me to justify to myself the vast quantities of books that I buy.
Last year I made my target a bit more comfortably (though mostly by reading a lot of fairly unchallenging series of crime fiction). Target this year is to read some of the interesting non-fiction books I've got on my to-read pile.
