Learning How to Read

I am just remembering something that I came across while reading the TJED. DeMille talks about how to analyze a book a lot but one of the things that really struck home with me and made me realize that I don't really know how to read is when he talks about the thought processes you should go through.

For example, when reading a classic you should understand story, character, plot etc. Then you should apply the story to your life. Step three would be applying it to those around you. And finally, step four would be to apply it to the entire human race.

Wow is all I can say. I may be on my own here, but I will just expose myself and let you gals know that I don't think I have ever read a book like this. I am excited to develop good reading and analytical habits so that I can really be an educated person. I really want to think like this.
