One downside of tracking the books I read is that I have a subtle resistance to starting super long books, because I know for that month I'll only end up reading 2 books instead of 5. It's really stupid but a side effect of tracking / counting.

It means I unnecessarily postponed reading excellent books such as "Titan" by Chernow.

I've gotten around this (at least a little) by tracking pages read instead of books read.

That's actually a really good idea. Might also make me prioritize articles more if they contribute to a "page count".
