Good Readers and Good Writers

   Nabokov believes in order to be a good reader one should not get to involved with a book.  For example, not go as far to associate ones self to deeply with a specific character or the time in which the book takes place.  He believes that their should be a line drawn between simply enjoying the book without personal relation and appreciating its artistic form.  Personally, I don't really agree with not being fully consumed personally in a book.  That is what makes the book so interesting sometimes.  I do agree with a few of Nabokov definitions of being a good reader.

  I feel that if it's the right type of book I'm a very good reader.  Even if the book doesn't fully catch my attention, reading for comprehension is something I do fairly well.  I believe in order to be a good reader one has to have a very long attention spam and an huge imagination.  Having a rather large vocabulary also is helpful to avid readers.
