A good reader

I really enjoyed reading this article. I rather like his take on what really makes a good reader. I can understand where his students were coming from with their list on what makes a good reader. School teaches us to analyze, to process, and to digest and dissect. This is reflected in their list. The author's list reveals a completely different approach to reading, an approach to which many college students may not be accustomed. This concept is reading for the sake of enjoyment. To see the story, feel the story, and think the story, and not just analyze and process it. It takes a completely different part of the brain to do this type of reading, and unleashing that part of the brain comes easier to some than it does to others. Not everyone has the imagination to see a Jane Austen novel the way she truly intended it to be seen and felt.
