actually that's a really interesting question. i can't say i've thought about it enough to really consider it a methodology, however i do seem to have some consistent habits.
i am usually reading several books at the same time, and i switch between them depending on mood. almost always in the group there is (at least) one very "lightweight" book, like an agatha christie or other mystery, or pg wodehouse, for a night when i am too tired to concentrate on anything very much but just want to read to relax.
when i discover a new author i like, i usually devour everything i can find by them whether or not the books are part of a series or not, until i run out of them. often i will fall into a "theme" and read a lot of books having something in common (even if superficially) ; for instance a few years ago i discovered the portugese writer Saramago ; then i discovered another portugese author by chance (the name escapes me now) and for several months i read only portugese litterature.
it's interesting to look at people's reading habits. you seem to have a well-thought out system.
