reading methods vary. The degree of concentration, the speed, the amount of attention paid to details and the amount of note?taking will all vary with the reader's purpose.
2) It is necessary to cultivate good reading habits. Scribbling all over a book or making it dog?eared are not considered good reading habits by most people.
3) Good readers usually respect those who keep their books clean. Love and respect for books are generally considered to be a good reader's duty. The way recommended by the writer can probably best be described as a “minority viewpoint”.
C? Answers for reference:
1? I argue plainly that making marks in a book is not something done to spoil it but to show its worth and value.
2? Getting the book by payment is merely a preparatory step on the way to ownership. 3? Only when you have fully absorbed it can you say that you own the book completely.
4? The third kind of book owners possess only a few or many books, but every one of them is worn, with the corners of the leaves folded over, and has become less tightly bound because of constant use. There are marks and informally written notes in each book from cover to cover.
5? I would never mark pages of a first edition copy of Paradise Lost, just as I would not give my baby a set of coloured pencils and a painting by Rembrandt in the original.
6? If the elaborate cover, style of printing or layout prevent you from marking up a book, then you'd better buy a cheap edition in which you can show your respect to the writer (i.e., by writing notes in it).
7? If you write notes in the book yourself, the words and sentences will stand out more distinctly in your mind and last longer in your memory.
8? Don't believe that a reader is only expected to take in passively what is in the book (i.e., the reader should also contribute).
9? Comprehension is a process involving both reception and production. If you remain a container ready only to receive, you cannot expect to learn very much.
