Editor's Note:
Is a good reader someone who reads a lot, reads fast, reads with comprehension? James Sire asserts that we are good readers only when we can read "between the lines" of whatever we read. Whether we read because we have to or because we want to, reading without understanding makes reading less enjoyable as well as less profitable. Every article, every poem, every book not only contains information but also projects a way of looking at life. Through practical chapters on reading fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, James Sire helps readers detect not only what writers say but what lies behind what they say. He concludes with practical and sensible counsel on how to choose what to read and when.
