I actually now track my reading using Kanban. Books I've decided to read go in to Pending. When I actively start reading one it moves into In Progress and when I complete it it moves into Done. I limit my actively being read books down so that I've never got more than 2 on the go at once, though quite often I'll only have one being actively read. It has certainly made a difference for me, as I now get through about 60 books each year. If you're wanting to read shorter fiction books then try looking at some of the older classics, as they tend to be a lot shorter than modern books.
