Without being as direct as writing a question, I also make basis to ask myself the following questions. Can I be a good reader if we have not "reread" what we are reading? What makes a good writer? How should a reader relate to a story? Should a book be read emotionally, scientifically, or in some other manner?
The idea appears to be that the fulfillment of the whole writing/reading process does not come about until good writer and good reader meet through the written word. A good reader needs a good writer and a good writer needs a good reader. I did not come out and clearly state this. The closest I came to clarifying this idea was when I wrote this composition that how to become a good reader and a good writer? Who do you think I meets? It is this beautiful union that is culmination of great writers meeting good readers. A good reader reads to experience this moment; a good writer writes to produce this moment.
If reading is to be fruitful, there must be this gathering between a good reader and a good writer. This happens when the writer has been faithful in his role to be a storyteller, teacher, and enchanter and the reader approaches the writing with a developed imagination, a memory that can grasp the flow of the story, an understanding of the language used by the author, and an artistic sense. It is like a mother and father coming together to conceive a child. A healthy father is like the author; the father plants the seed like the author plants the magical, teaching story. While the mother is like the reader, she must nourish and protect the baby until it is born. In the same way, the reader must comprehend the story through the proper use of her imagination, memory, and artistic sense. Only after a period of time is the baby delivered and brought into the world. The same is true with a story, only after a period of time does the story manifest the thoughts and behaviors in the reader which the author desired.
When we write, let us strive to be a good writer. When we read, let us strive to be a good reader.
