Well, ripping it apart to find some hidden meaning - which in a lot of cases the writer didn't even intend for! - is another thing. I'm talking about diving into the plot, to learn more about what's going on, and familiarize oneself with the characters even more than the initial identifying process.
Of course, writing a paper on it might be a little much sometimes, but simply being conscious of it while you read and doing a 'light' analysis in your head is - IMHO - a great way to read books. But not the first time, mind you! That takes away the innocence and mysteries like peeking into your presents before Christmas... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
