Anna Lawson asked Jack Edwards:

Any advice for reading those books that are just so tedious and you don't like them at all but you need to study them for school?

Jack Edwards If you're struggling to grasp the plot, sometimes it's worth reading alongside a drip-fed plot summary. Read each individual chapter's summary before or after you read that chapter, rather than looking up the whole plot in one go. This way, you still develop your understanding of the book at the right pace, but appreciate the language and literary devices rather than just trying to understand the plot. Also -- read everything multiple times. Often you only pick important things up once you've already read the book once before!
