Needs, only recently started reading.

I'm pretty motivated about it and I'm generally feeling good, but I can't help but feel that I miss something whenever I read. For example, I read some of Eliot's poetry the other day and I missed a lot of the symbolism. I'm currently reading the sound and the Fury, and not only am I having a hard time understanding it, but even when I do understand it, I can't clearly say what symbols Faulkner is using.

So some advice on how to be a more skilled reader, and how to properly understand the great books would be very highly appreciated.

If that is the situation, you're lucky. Understanding everything is the worst thing that can happen to you.
