How many mathematics textbooks is it realistic to study cover to cover

if I start now (at age 23) with the background knowledge of half a degree in maths and advanced highers all at A grade in maths, applied maths and physics.

Also, which areas of mathematics would be best to focus on?

this is just as a leisure hobby, maybe for 2-3 hours a day.

I have lots of maths textbooks, far too many to study, so I'm trying to sell a few off and trying to figure out which ones to sell.

I would say roughly the limit of the sequence

\left(\frac11,\ \frac11+\frac12,\ \frac11+\frac12+\frac13,\ \frac11+\frac12+\frac13+\frac14,\ \dots \right)
