>I just read for fun
What sorts of books do you find fun?
>but apparently I need to get "more" from lit.
Says who? If you're a grown (wo)man you can read whatever and however you please. If you engage with a variety of writers and styles you're likely already constantly learning, and if you read any books at all you've got more going on upstairs than most.
>What does that even mean? How do I go about that?
Mostly just "keep reading and pay attention." If you like you can supplement your reading with nonfiction books that concern literature in some way; pic related is a famous one that's challenging but rewarding. The more you read, the closer to objective your analysis can become, and being able to read fiction and recognize techniques you learned of elsewhere or compare the style to other writers already familiar is really satisfying.
