 Reading Online - Articles: Contexts for Engagement and Motivation in Reading
Csikszentmihalyi (1991) describes engaged reading as a state of total absorption or “flow.” Cambourne (1995) argues that engagement is a merger of multiple qualities that entails holding a purpose, seeking to understand, believing in one’s own capability, and taking responsibility for learning.
Reading practices may be reflected in the amount of independent reading, composite indicators of engagement in reading, or beliefs and preferences about reading.

 CRITICAL READING: A GUIDE
Reading poetry well is a balance among and conjunction of qualities: experience, attention, engagement with the qualities which make the poem resonant or compelling, close reading of structure and relationships.
As narrative represents experience in some way and as it uses cultural codes and language to do so, it inevitably must be read, as poetry, for its structure of values, for its understanding of the world, or world-view, and for its ideological assumptions, what is assumed to be natural and proper.
Read, too, the section on writing and on documentation in The Little, Brown Compact Handbook, Section VI, "Research and Documentation" and Section VII, "Special Types of Writing." Write what you have to say as clearly and precisely as you can.

What separates John from other cold readers, is that John works with a sizable audience (the Gallery) and when his readings go like the above, as happens far too often, he will just say that he's picking up the "energies" of two different or distinct families which is suppose to explain away wrong guesses.

 John Lavagnino: "Reading, Scholarship, and Hypertext Editions"
It is reading as an experience and not as mere collection of data: it can lead to interpretation, but only by way of generating reactions that we subsequently seek to describe or explain, not by being the only way we can collect all the references to fish for the footnote on page 37.
Reading is a performance, too, and we have the same desire not to have it interrupted by any obtrusive means of presentation.
Facilitating reading is an important achievement, but, as Robin Cover observed, it is also not something that particularly calls for hypertext; the real advantage of a hypertext edition will lie in its tools for scholarship.

 CONTEXT: Charles Harris Reading John Barth
As Barth writes in Chimera, "the truth of fiction is that Fact is fantasy; the made-up story is a model of the world." In works such as Sabbatical and On With the Story, reflexiveness is absorbed into the work's narrative flow.
Each work is conarrated by couples acutely aware of the problems they are having composing the narratives we are reading.
I read John Barth because he's terrific--and because his work provides the best index I know to the temper of our time.
