"Good Readers" Response

Nabokov has some pretty interesting ideas on how to be a good reader, or “rereader” as he states. One must have artistic sense, a dictionary, memory and imagination. One also must be able to see the whole picture and be able to appreciate the writer’s art, not identify themselves with the characters. The reader must be able to stay “a little aloof” and detached from the characters to get the whole work of art the writer has created. I feel that this is a great way to go about reading and rereading. According to Nabokov, I am a minor reader. I read for amusement and to identify with the characters. I use books as an escape from the world rather than something to be analyzed and reread. From now on I will try to read like a good reader than a minor one.
