Am i a good reader?

When you do that much reading, you've no choice but to improve upon your reading. It comes naturally.

The question is... Do you ENJOY it? Do you get something out of it that you wouldn't get from watching TV or playing a video game? For me it's the fun I have in visiting someone else's world for a while. Unlike the TV, I am involved in the story. I follow those characters along and I am more emotionally connected with them. I enjoy this and my wife regularly gets after me for the amount of books I go through. It's a lot.

The other question is... do you remember what you've read? Without looking at the book, could you tell someone about the story?

It's not important whether you are a "good reader". It's far more important that you enjoy reading. The rest will follow on its own.

Yes you are a good reader.

More to the point you enjoy reading for both pleasure and education, may I suggest you try a couple of 'English' Authors, P.G. Wodehouse, and the Jeeves and Wooster books, also any Agatha Christie, both authors will keep you going for a while (Christie, especially as she wrote over 80 who done its, most of them with a unique twist)

If you 'don't get' Jeeves and Wooster immediately, just keep them in mind and return to them in your twenties, PS be warned if you do 'Get' them you may find yourself ROFL in a literal sense.

Sherlock Holmes is also very excellent reading.

Also I have read through the other suggestions, and go with them, Spike has a long list but all goodies, Heinlein is also good, and J has also suggested good titles.

Keep rattling off those books, you put me to shame, at your age, I had not read any where near as many title?

Ask your English teacher about it, would you be a good reader and so on. So that you know for sure.

MAYBE you could give these books a try as you keep on reading.

Regardless of your age, if you enjoy and can remember most of what you read, then you're a good reader. My question is, why are you coming into Yahoo Answers to validate this? You've read twenty novels by the age of fourteen, which is more than many people read EVER. Congratulations to you!

If you enjoy what you read, you're a good reader.

If you enjoy reading then yes. Those are good books and I am 13 and have read them all and my parents say I am so you probably are to. Only someone who doesn't enjoy reading is a bad reader, it has nothing to do with how many books you've read.

I don't think that you are particularly advanced, I had read all of those books by the age of 10 but I think that it is good that you are taking such an interest which most people your age don't. I would say keep going and try read more adult books to improve your reading xxx

Yes. Try some early Stephen King, and the classics like Moby Dick, The Old Man and the Sea, Mark Twain, Louisa Mae Alcot and the Bronte sisters.

That's a great beginning. Don't stop. Keep reading. Try some classics like Moby Dick.

From the titles you mention. I think you should check your school library for Robert A. Heinlein.
