"My Dear Reader"
Introduction To The English Novel
By Kay Kato and Kasey Oyama
Today, very few people seem to have the time or the inclinati
to read a good book. Women waste their time over silly magazines
men hardly read outside of the sports page in the newspapers T^'
plead lack of time, yet we find that these same people spend hou
questionable pursuits. Most of us only think of entertainment when we
read, but the benefits to be derived from reading novels are not
confined
to pleasure alone.
WHY SHOULD WE READ NOVELS?
Well
directed
reading would give us a saner outlook
।
।
--- on life
I hrough novels, we come into contact with the great thinkers who
have made some attempt to solve the mystery which lies behind th»
basic problems of life—of sorrow, suffering, love, and death How
much wider would be our experience, and how much greater our under
standing if we could draw on the experience and understanding of thes
men of letters.

everyday life. All of us need a period of quiet, when we can catch our
breaths, and in calm restore our sense of proportion. Otherwise verv

L
WHAT NOVELS SHALL WE READ?
A
Sometimes people with good intentions come across difficulties
when they are beginning their reading. They may find Scott too dull
Thackeray.too long-winded, or Hardy too gloomy. The fault, of course'
lies with the reader's lack of appreciation and not with the authors' I
