if you're actively learning and pursueing your goals, NO ONE is in a place to judge you earnestly

I'm glad to see someone seek understanding

It's okay if you're reading a 700 plus page pomo meme and some references went over your head. Anything else, though, and you're max pleb.

If I want to read a book I check to see if it has a sparknotes page. If it does I don't read it. If it doesn't I don't read it but I tell people I did.

If you have problems reading a book, just try another one or go ahead and read the analysis, if it makes you better, for all I care.
It doesn't matter unless you are reading something that truly requires understanding of the subtext and intertext, like James Joyce or whatever.

There's nothing plebby about wanting to learn more about the text you're reading. But why don't you just read some peer reviewed critical analysis on the book, or a reading companion or something? Sparknotes is pretty shitty
