I'm a tad annoyed that you listed so many books. It loses its meaning. Some of the books you listed are gems, but they are midstream in a long boring list.
Try taking public transport, if you can. An hour on a bus may sound worse than a 30 minute drive, but if you spend it reading you may well enjoy it more.
I'm wondering if we could get a quick script to count how many pages are in the 75 books listed so we can understand how much did he actually read :-D.
Sell your TV and make it a conscious choice to not look at a screen past say 7pm.
I've been reading a minimum of one novel a week and from one to three tech/design/cooking/misc/etc books a month over the past 16 years. Sure there are exceptions, for example reading Game of Thrones took me at least two weeks per novel and the third book took me a full month.
Also, get a kindle. I don't read much technical books on it but it's a godsend for novels and not accumulating a bunch of paperbacks. Unless you don't enjoy reading as a pastime, in which case don't waste your time because you can actually burn out reading too much.

Even though I can't be bothered reading the whole list, this post inspires me to resolve that I will read more books in 2013 than I did in 2012.
