a)If you are at uni track down your professors dissertation and compare with their current work.
b)If not I suggest:
The Book of Tropes: Definitions and Examples - Adams.
Admittedly I struggled to come up with the more obvious literary suggestions (5, 10(a), (b)), because it's really down to practice. If you don't make notes as you read any novel then it will be harder to get anywhere. Just read and think about what you are reading. The other suggestions will encourage good thought processes which are essential.
