[#]WritersCoffeeClub Feb 2: Do you analyze structure and technique in other writer’s work?

I'm an autodidact at literature—no formal education in it beyond O-level exams circa 1980—but I pay attention to what I'm reading: as an SF author I tend to focus more on ideas and characters than other folks' deep structure, but recurrent tropes are always of interest (I enjoy subverting or inverting them to hit the reader with the sense of alienation that's a central objective of my chosen genre).
