Test Driven Book Reading

I like it - I use a lot of these techniques when I'm reading technical books for specifics... less so when I'm looking for an overall introduction to a new technology, since I don't know what all the questions are when I start. I do tend to shift half-way through to the question-based approach.

This is just a specialization of defining success criteria, and then executing a repeatable (yet flexible) procedure to fulfill those criteria. Thus, Test Driven Development Book Reading (not to be confused with what I did right before taking my MCPD exam, which was read the chapters that correlated to what I failed in the sample test, which again could be considered Test Driven Book Reading)
