Good Readers and Good Writers

Nabokov mentions that, “The students leaned heavily on emotional identification, action and the social economic or historical angle” (Nabokov, 615). However, he mentions that a reader should have imagination, good memory, and a dictionary and also be willing to reread. I agree that one should have some kind of imagination depending on the literature; a dictionary I think is a must and be able to reread so that the reader can comprehend what was read. I am not much of a reader therefore, I tend to read and reread books especially if they are not of much interest to me. Books that I enjoy I have no problem read them once without having any problems however when I have little choice of the matter the book or story becomes very difficult. For the most part I really don’t consider myself a good reader, but I do however use my imagination as much as I can when reading books this keeps me from being bored and allows me to continue the book.
