For those wondering, what this topic is about? It is just my words of appreciation for an article, I read couple of times. I would love to see this article written as a foreword on each and every book published and will publish from now on; be it fiction, poem, biography or blue-book etc. This article advices or rather cautions a reader on several things before the reader states his/her judgement on any book that he/she is reading and all these suggestions and ideas are given with a strict disclaimer at the start of the article, stating these ideas and suggestions are my personel opinion and should not be taken as it is.

Of various insightful suggestions potrayed in the article, the significant ones are,

If at all a book should to judged, Compare a book always with its Best Kind.
Start a book without any prejudices.
Get into author's mentation while reading a book so that you don't get into a judge's mode that would spoil the whole aspect of an enjoyable reading and would stop you from understanding the context of author's narration.
Enjoy and analyse a poem in its own flavour and also on usage of verses.
After reading several books, if the mind has matured and compels to do an insightful critic on a book, consider comparing a book with an another best book of the same kind, irrespective of time period, for the positive qualities in both the books or the similarities in it on the positive aspect.
Try to write few lines about the book that being just read to check if the interpretation is done correctly.
Always listen to your own instinct on selecting and reading a book.

After reading the article on “ How Should One Read a Book by Virginia Woolf,” I feel like, I should go back and read all those books again, I had read previously, without any prejudices to understand and appreciate the uniqueness in each of those books.

How often we do make the mistake of starting a book with so many predeterminations? Either based on review we come across or from those rare critics, counting on only mistakes inexhaustibly.
I think it is time to start a book from a fresh mindset; burying all the predeterminations, judgements, forgetting all the reviews read and critics call and enjoy the book word by word wholeheartedly!
