"Good Readers and Good Writers" Nabokov
According to Vladimir Nabokov’s essay on “Good Readers and Good Writers”, he feels a good reader is one who possesses imagination, a wide range of vocabulary and artistic sensibility. I believe that in order to be a good reader one must be able envision what the author is trying to convey. An open mind is essential versus developing one’s own preconceived notions as to “what should come next”.
In my opinion a good reader is one who has an open mind and ability to visualize themselves in the story. Although I do not consider myself to be a good reader….yet, I do feel I can relate to what an author is trying to convey. I am hoping this class will help me to broaden my thought process and ultimately help me become a much better reader.
