问题     The only advice, indeed, that one person can give another about reading is to take no advice to follow your own instincts, to use your own reason, to come to your own conclusions.【T1】If this is agreed between us, then I feel at liberty to put forward a few ideas and suggestions because you will not allow them to fetter(禁锢)that independence which is the most important quality that a reader can possess. After all, what laws can be laid down about books? The battle of Waterloo was certainly fought on a certain day; but is Hamlet a better play than Learl Nobody can say. Each must decide that question for himself.【T2】Everywhere else we may be bound by laws and conventions—there we have none. Then, how are we to bring order into this multitudinous chaos and get the deepest and widest pleasure from what we read?
    【T3】It is simple enough to say that since books have classes—fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him, Be his fellow-worker and accomplice.【T4】If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, the signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other.
    "We have only to compare" —with those words the cat is out of the bag, and the true complexity of reading is admitted. The first process, to receive impressions with the utmost understanding, is only half the process of reading; it must be completed, if we are to get the whole pleasure from a book, by another.【T5】We must pass judgment upon these multitudinous impressions; we must make of these fleeting shapes one that is hard and lasting.
