When I became an English major, one of my fears was that learning to super analyze a text would ruin my enjoyment of reading a book. It sounds stupid, but yes. I was worried about that all I'd be able to think about was how so-and-so can easily be interpreted as a feminist reading or what the author is saying in his/her social commentary.
Fortunately, I discovered that the opposite happened. The more I learn about a book, the more I like it. And in the meantime, I am still able to read a book and purely enjoy it on its own. =)
