Dumb question: how often do you pause to think about what you’re reading?

I’m very much a beginner reader, and I just realized that I never stop to think about what I’m reading, and I’m wondering if this is bad form, so to speak. Of course, I read for pleasure basically, so I shouldn’t be too hard on myself, but I do want to be a better reader, if I can.

So, do you stop to think about what you’re reading? If so, what do you think about? Maybe for you this is obviously a part of reading, but you see I was a terrible student in English class so yeah 🤷
