How do you approach a book /lit/?
Just pick it up, read it, take your interpretation, and leave it?
Research the book a little so you're primed to understand the common interpretation of a book?
Read it and research it after to support or deny your own interpretations?
Do these things changed based on the scope of the book? Say, 1984 vs. Finnegan's Wake?Or do you just not read and shitpost instead?

Usually I read it and then later I read some stuff that other people wrote about it. Then if I have the time and inclination I might read it again.

I do this if I'm buying Crime and Punishment or Garfields Greatest Hits. It's a bad habit I know.

I've learned to enjoy books instead of fret over their meaning. Oddly, result has been an improvement in my own ability to abstractly and uniquely interpret and analyze books. Sometimes I do get curious and read other stuff about the work but only after I finish.
