How much university level training do you need to be fully /lit/, if any? I took multiple literature classes when I was in high school, but now at uni I'm not sure if I can fit any in my schedule.
I've read the basic /lit/ starter kit books and really enjoyed them, but I don't know how I should be approaching all of this. Do you analyze books as you read them consciously, or just read them? Do you look up much outside analysis of it (more than just the forward) when you read a book?
I just want to generally get the most out of these books as I can and I'm not sure exactly how to do that. How do you, /lit/? Does it depend on the book?

In order to become truly /lit/, one must be a writer. Write something of value.

eng phd candidate here. to get what you want probably just read Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction by Jonathan Culler and Doing English by Robert Eaglestone. it'll get you into that higher level analysis quickly so that you can apply passively as you continue to read novels/poetry/whatever. it'll also let you know enough about it without wasting a ton of your time to reject the whole approach if it doesn't turn out to be helpful to you.

Oh? And what would you prefer? A poem? I can just write something if that's what you want.
