I'm another who sometimes reads voraciously on a single series until burnout, but I've learned over the years to pace myself.
I have also suffered from overall reading burnout, because I've had jobs as a script reader and story judge, and also because I'm a writer, and I use the same part of my brain for reading and writing. (Long extended writing sessions can completely burn me out for reading.)
When I've got to get away from reading/writing, I can sometimes take a break by listening to music or if the burnout isn't too bad, watching movies. But usually I just have to throw myself into some practical hands on real life thing - like cleaning out the basement, or some major project at the day job.
