So guys, I think I'm missing something. I just don't understand everything I read, I sit down I take in the words on the page, I even reflect on what happened chapter by chapter but I can't seem to understand it. I just read fahrenheit 451, which is the reason I'm here right now, when Guy says that he doesn't understand, that there just words on a page, it made me realize that that's how I've been reading forever now. Maybe I'm just being an idiot or maybe it's because I haven't read enough but I honestly don't see anything outside of the text unless it's explained to me. Which sucks since part of the reason people read is to make their own assumptions from evidence throughout the book isn't it?
TL;DR any advice for someone who's having trouble understanding literature but wants to get into it? Pic only slightly related

Keep reading. Read something easy and read shmoop chapter summaries and analyses as you read. Understand how they reach those conclusions. Continue that, then start trying to analyze yourself. Keep it up. You'll get better with practice.

A well-written book makes you understand what you're suppose to. In this case, it's not that you don't understand Fahrenheit 451, it's that it only made communicable sense in fractions. Which follows, because it was speedwritten in 9 days on a typewriter.
