Some really terrible plans here.

I would like to learn other games so that I can be a good poker player. I would enjoy being a winning player at multiple games with holdem as my main game.

If you are going to learn a new game, you need to concentrate on it. Don't play anything else, don't read anything else. The 5 weeks would be about right to concentrate on one new game, and then go back to your regular game for a while. You would usually find that you have improved at your regular game after learning the new one.

I guess I will just quit playing poker online and read instead.

This makes no more sense than saying that you are a recreational bicycle rider who wants to become competitive, so you are going to stop riding for a month and just read books about bicycle racing.
