"I can't choose between reading the both book each for an hour a day or reading one of them for two hours a day"
I wondered if that sentence is correct in terms of structure. Especially the part of "reading the both book each for an hour a day". I'm trying to say that I have two books I want to read however I can't decide wheter to read both of them each for an hour on the same day or to read one of them for two hours a day and to read the other one the next day for two hours. I want to construct a sentence that envoys that meaning properly. I want your corrections and opinions. Thank you

"reading the both book each for an hour a day".
That is not grammatical. See suggestion above.
Also, you need "conveys" instead of "envoys".
