Good Readers and Good Writers

    Nabokov stated a  good reader posses qualities such as imagination, memory, artistic sence, and he/she posses a dictionary. So in lamens terms a book worm, that lives in a fairy tale, that ventures from the truth, and is hopin the vastly corrupt place called life. Do i agree with those traits? I often find myself on both sides of that fence. I think to really grasp what a author is writing you most definetly have to obtain those traits. I  believe if the great authors would harness there energy towards the things that could create change, instead of creating a fairy tale, maybe we would help our selves make sense of this crazy world. So i guess i think a good reader could sift through the artistic details and imagination, he/she could get right to moral of the story. To get to that point i also you have to use those same traits the Nabokov stated.

  I myself do not feel as i am a great reader. In saying that i find myself bored in the fiction and lingering on the truth. Leaning on the truth in hope in the discovery of change. As far as reading itself, even the material that absolutley appeals me, i also have to re-read it. I have to read it the second time to grasp the detail.
