Nabokov believes that imagination, memory, dictionary, artistic sense and most of all a re-reader is what makes a good reader. After reading this, I totally agree with it. I really never put a whole lot of thought into reading. I believe the characteristics of a good reader would be to understand what you are reading, putting yourself behind the author and reading it more than once. I would have to say that when I am interested in something I am an excellent reader. However, since in college I would say that since I am not able to really pick and choose what I want to read--I take the material and try to enjoy it as much as I can. I will usually have to read things more than once to fully understand it
