Subject: RE: BS: Reading books in parallel
I don't interweave texts like you describe, but it is a common practice in literary and philosophy sorts of scholarship to "pass one text over another," to give them a close reading (or viewing--it works with film also) one right after the other, perhaps going back and rereading each. It yields some interesting insights.
