      For a bit over a year I've been using a system of single-tracking my nonfiction reading, only ever having one book on the go at a time, and not stopping until I finish or formally decide to abandon the book. I now think this is a bad idea.

      It treats reading time as more interchangeable than it actually is. Sometimes I don't have the intellectual capacity or emotional resilience to read a particular book, but could still be reading. Having a specific book I "have" to read if I'm reading means that I won't read then.

      e.g. I've been reading Matthew Ratcliffe's "Feelings of Being" for a while (a few weeks?) now. It's good but it's quite hard work, so a lot of the time I'm not able to deal with it, and it acts as a denial of service attack on my reading as a result.

      Similarly I often read therapy books, and you really need to be in the right emotional state to do that.

      A boring pragmatic issue is that sometimes books are really huge and I don't want to put them in my bag.

      I haven't quite decided what the new system is. I do like the way the single-tracking forces my hand on deciding to read or not read a book. Maybe I can only add another book to the in progress pile if I'm not currently able to read any of the books already there.

      Do you need your hand forced? (Posed for you to ask yourself, not for me to get an answer). From my perspective it seems like a lot of self-imposed rules. Not my business why you have them, just sharing that I don't have them.

      It's useful to keep the work in progress queue bounded because I feel vaguely guilty if I have a large number of unread books.

      Why do you feel guilty about it? Serious question

          Hmm. Good question. Can't answer it at the moment
