Good readers need laughter too

As an avid reader, The talk on good readers versus bad readers really stuck with me. I've been reading for as long as I can remember, and I'm always discovering new books I want to read.

There are definitely places I need to improve on. For example, I'm not yet in the habit of rereading things more than once. There are a few exceptions to this, but those are usually books I fall in love with. You can tell which books are my favorite, by the condition of them. Almost all of my Harry Potter books has some sort of stain on one of the pages.

Recently I’ve started reflecting more on my reading

I guess this stuck with me because I thought I was a good reader, while in actuality, there’s really a lot I’m not doing in order to appreciate the material more. There is an entire bookshelf dedicated to books I haven’t read, and hopefully by the time I actually get to them, I’ll have started employing good reading techniques.

The cartoon we watched reminds you that when you are younger, those cartoons don’t affect you as much, because the meaning is more hidden. When you get older, rewatching them reveals messages that you completely missed as a kid. This also leads to good reading because after watching it multiple times, you continue to notice things that you might have missed the last time. Things are often made funnier when you understand the subliminal messages.
