Blueprints

Every book has a structure that should be understood. There is a difference between a pile of bricks and a single house. A book is like a single house. It is made up of different rooms, sizes, shapes, outlooks, uses. Each major part has an amount of independence.

A good book, like a good house, have a great structure.

Say what the whole book is about as briefly as possible.
Then, set forth the major parts of the book, show how they are organised into a whole.

Practical vs. theoretical books

Practical books tell you how to do something you want to do or should do, along with an argument for the right way of doing it.

Know what you are reading

Consider if you are reading a novel, a play, an expository work. It may sound simple, but it is not. For example, is Gone with the Wind a romance or history of the south?

Find out what the authors problems were

The author may or may not tell you what the questions were that caused him to produce his work. It is your task as a reader to formulate the questions as accurately as you can.
