Nabokov thinks that a good reader should “belong to a book club… identify with the hero… concentrate on the socio-economic triangle… should prefer a story with action and dialogue… see the book in a movie… be a budding author… have imagination and should have memory. ”
I agree with his thoughts of what makes a good reader, especially identifying with the hero (people are more apt to pay attention to what interests them) and being an author. In addition to those listed, I think that a good reader must enjoy the material presented to get the full effect. Overall, I consider myself a good reader because of how involved I get in my reading.http://www.martininstitute.org/events/2011-summer-conference-jun-15-16/browse-sessions/288-what-makes-a-good-reader-and-writer.html
