In my personal experience (as a philosophy major), it is often difficult to extract the most out of a difficult text without talking to others who have read it. For whatever reason, it seems like no single person is able to extract all the meaning singlehandedly. Thus, I suggest that you find some intelligent, like-minded individuals to discuss what you are reading. I'd also be happy to provide a list of good reads after you post what is already on your list.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
