Nobakov's Essay

i agree with what the essay is saying, but it is nothing more than a personal perspective of one man's idea on what "good readers" should do. not everyone has to read a story multiple times to understand it. for my Brit Lit class, we are assigned readings on a daily basis, majority of the time, we dont get an opportunity to read stories multiple times. if you are capable of taking good notes, you should be about to understand a reading with ease.

i do agree with what Nabokov says, "the reader should have a dictionary" because not everything is understood. and one should always understand or make note of the things that are not understood in a text.
