My advice for writers is to just pick one essay you like and are a little scared of and read it over and over and stop after every paragraph to explain what it's doing at the moment. Maybe I'll teach a class where we read the same essay over and over.
I did this often with fiction as an undergrad. I know I did it with the end of Gatsby and parts of The Virgin Suicides. Because I just wanted to demand that the stories tell me how they made me feel like that!!!!!
Oh, and, I learned while recording lectures this semester that reading something and recording an on-the-fly annotation to explain its effects to someone else is VERY good. Maybe I'll make this an assignment
