I haven't found a solution for that, or any other problem that amounts to "I want to read All The Things!"
About the closest I've come is thinking about how most people consider you an expert on a topic if you've read 3 books about it. So I might look at a subject list and aim to assemble a set of basic, intermediate, advanced; three different subtopics; or an introduction and any two other things that build on it. After I've read those, I should have a better handle on whether I've read enough for my purposes at this time, or if not, what kind of additional material I need to track down.
