I'm intrigued to know what everyone thinks. I've recently joined a creative writing club at school and there was a brief discussion on this topic. General consensus was that yes, analysing a book kills it completely. I totally disagree - as someone who wants to study English Lit at university, I believe analysis enhances a book/poem (as long as you have the right teacher, of course). We all analyse to a certain extent as we read anyway.
What do you think?
No, but sometime when you begin analysing you a text , you follow many steps. Following steps, will make as one, as captive writer. But , if you write much by the time , you won't be in need to analyse you text, book, etc.

Depends how you like your magic.
If you are one of those who doesn't like to see how a magic trick is performed, taking a novel down to the nuts and bolts and finding a few erroneous parts will be downright depressing for you and probably kill the magic of the book.
If you are someone who likes to take things apart to see how they work and the complexity you find holds its own magic, well, there you go.
I would say my view has changed completely since I started writing. I used to be in camp one and never wanted to know how the magic was done, but now love to find new depths in old waters. Perhaps your peers aren't as far into their writing journey as you.
