Being able to what you read is almost the entire point of reading. Here are some good habits to develop when approaching a book
Before
Don’t skip the introductions!
Do read the reviews (Good Reads is great for this.)
During
Read with a pencil in hand
Look up words that you don’t know
Remove all barriers and distractions (my phone is the worst distraction for me when reading)
Be cautious about reading for sake of ticking the box of “Being a Reader”
Talk about what you are reading with others
Practice summarizing in your own words the points, plot, etc.
Talk about what is different about this book or similar to other books
Share quotations that stuck with you
Keep a Commonplace Book
After
Talk about it with others
If you have chosen a good book based on the best information available to you, and it’s presented in an interesting way, you probably will want to talk about it. So write a review of it.
