Generally I try to aim for a book a month that way I know I am reading but also being aware that sometimes life work comes up and keeps me from reading. As for the content, my eldest sibling has been pushing "must read" books that are generally banned books but I have also been doing some pleasure reads to counter act how grim alot of the reads have been. Just to name some, 1984, handmaid's tale, Parable of the Sower. So yeah, one a month atleast.

Generally in my backpack. Alot of times it gets bent or pages folded on but I just accepted it as a sign of something that has been out and about being read in the world.
