How much of my knowledge on literature should come from critical theory and outside essays? For example, I reread Hamlet for the fourth time, and now I feel like delving into Bloom's Poem Unlimited and Greenblatt's Hamlet in Purgatory.

I've read some portions of Bloom's Invention of the Human but my real question is: How much of what I glean from a book is going to be my own thought? Should I just do close-reading exercises in my own time? When class comes around, that's another thing...

Pic unrelated, I think.
