I have a tree diagram which encompases the entire Western canon. I flip a coin a few hundred times and follow where God leads me. The Bible is repeated 50 times so God has plenty of room to guide me towards faith, if he deems it necesary.

Semi-random pinballing around the internet until I come across something or reading something else by an author I already like.

I go to /lit/ and whatever the most recent thread is talking about that's what I read

>> No.14427373

I make a list in advance, so I know, roughly, what I'll read beforehand, unless I see something that really interests me and decide to read it instead.

I have a backlog that's rather long. In the event that I somehow exhaust said backlog I'll just go back and reread something I've already read.

I have a backlog bigger than... than something very big. I just pick up a random book. Sometimes I tell myself I'm going to read this, this and that book, but usually is not more than 3, so most of the time I end up picking up a random book.
