Marking multiple books as Read?

I have a library of a few thousand books. I added a 'read' Yes/No column yesterday - works great. However, having to painstakingly go through my entire library marking individual books as read is taking forever. I have tried highlighting multiple books and clicking on one of the cells in the Read column but I just get offered that one cell. Is it possible to configure 'read' to be able to select multiple books to mark as read?

Thanks.

click those books as you had... BUT...
Then tap 'E' for bulk (mode) metadata edit.
There you make metadata changes to ALL SELECTED books
