C) Discuss the effect of such techniques with the group members.

3. Answer the following questions. Think up some more to raise a little discus­sion in class.

1. To some people reading is a relaxation as to other people a game of cards, for example. Do you belong to such kind of readers? If so, what authors and books do you prefer for this sort of easy reading?

2. Do you read all books from cover to cover? In general, are you a good or a poor "skipper", that is, are you a fast or a-slow reader? How fast do you read?

3. Are there books that you can read twice, that would remain a source of permanent enrichment to you? If so, what books could you name among them?

4. Though the habit of reading is justly called "the most delight­ ful habit in the world", there are people who buy books with jackets to match their wallpaper or draperies. Do you think such people re­ally own books? What kind of person do you think can be called a true owner of books?

5. What is reading after all? A source of information? A refuge убежище for the lonely? A pastime? Say what reading is to you after all.
