Scholarly Reading

This is review, but it never hurts.

Main points:
What is the author trying to say? Explicitly & implicitly.
How do they say it? Rhetorical moves, structures, etc.
Why is it important?
Do you agree?
How does it compare to other authors in the field?
Where is it positioned in the field?
What is the social context for the book/text?
