(It isn't "to be" read, if it is "currently being" read.)
(Yes, I have an actual list of books I am concurrently reading.)

Do people really waste time ranking their TBR when they could be reading it?
Sure. One thing I like to do is scan my TBR list all the way through, marking the books that strike my fancy, then move books around on that list. It lets me stack series with a book in between so I don't get burned out on the series. It also lets me alternate fiction and history. My TBR list is about 100 long now, so if I don't shake it up every so often, books get pushed to the bottom of the list and forgotten. There is a method to my madness. It may not be a sane method, but it is a method.
