I think as long about it as it requires me to on my bed and then do something else. Then I might tell someone/some people about it.
Rarely, when I absolutely had no idea wtf was happening, I made up a thesis and then looked up online what others think. Last time I had that was with Peter Handke's Mein Tag im anderen Land ^1^. I was apparently right there with my thesis... but... still really didn't know WHY. :D
Mostly though I shove reading sessions into the day like taking out my phone, except if the book is REALLY exceptional (Schachnovelle ^2^, Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui ^3^ or Traumnovelle ^4^).
^1^ My Day in a Foreign Country
^2^ Chess Story
^3^ The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui
^4^ Dream Story
