good readers

     Nabokov believes a good reader is one who has imagination, memory, a dictionary and some artistic sense. He says we need to be "rereaders". Read the book once and then go back and read it again at least once more. When we reread, we are able to acquaint ourselves with the book and can take in the whole picture and enjoy the details. A good reader will use "impersonal imagination" and "artistic delight", an "artistic harmonious balance between the reader's mind and the authors mind."
     I do agree that having a good imagination makes reading more enjoyable and a dictionary is a must. I understand how rereading a book will make it more clear and you will find things you didn't the first time around but I have not read a book more than once.
     I think a good reader is someone who is open minded and is accepting of other peoples opinions, that is how we learn new things and new ways of seeing things/new points of view.
     I think I am a good reader when I am reading a subject that I like but when I read something that I am not interested in I have a hard time caring about it enough to really pay good attention to it, so in those instances I am not a good reader.
