In your blog post, you mentioned that you don't particularly agree with Nabokov about his interpretation of a good reader, other than the imagination part. It is appreciated of your opinion, but a little more of an explanation as to why you don't agree that a good reader needs a dictionary, memory, or artistic sense. Either that or discussing each point more in depth, some way or the other. I appreciate the honesty in your blog post though. I also like the reality in it. I do agree with many of your points though :) It's very well written by the way.
Dear James, Thank you for your post. As with the comment above I would love it if you could explain more about why you dont agree with Nabokov. I loved though your explanation of what comprehension is and why it is so important. I agree with you that even on the most basic level, we must first comprehend the storyline and plot of a book before we can explore its deeper meaning.
