Not reading widely and wanting uni study of English Lit...?

Hi, I want to do English Lit at uni and I'm worried that I might be unrealistic and weird. I mean, I love reading but I don't read widely and avidly. Enough to be able to get a narrow A at Higher but not as extensively as unis would want me to. I'm an international and I read more in my native language than in English but I want to study English Lit, not my native literature - I wouldn't get any job after such option (complicated). Whenever I read though, I feel like I'm floating... I just love reading, but don't have enough time to do it, i.e 100 books a year as Oxford uni wants of their students. If I wanted to go to Dundee uni, I doubt they expect such a high number from students but still literary skills are the same everywhere. Am I being unrealistic? Thank you very much.
