My interest is all over the place too, but not all over the place at the same time. I tend to have clear areas of focused interest at each moment. Reading something that pertains to my area of interest of the moment seems to be much more fruitful. I tend to be willing to go through the trouble to follow up citation and think more critically about what I read, and as a result get more from it.
So if I were to ask for recommendations, I would name my current area of interest and ask for recommendations pertaining to that.
I’m the opposite. I’m currently reading four books - I keep one in the bedroom, one in each bath, and one in the shop. I find that I have no trouble with keeping up my interest in all four.
