get-better-at-reading

I’ve developed a decent layperson’s understanding of “what makes this movie work, shot-to-shot,” but I don’t have that for books. I’ll read two fairly similar genre books, for example, and one of them will absolutely click for me and the other won’t, but I don’t feel like I have a vocabulary for describing what it is that makes the writing in one of them “better” than the other. I would like to read some books that will help me develop a better ear for prose, give me tools for talking about what I like and don’t like, and help me feel like I can appreciate what a writer is doing in more detail.
