This would be an interesting angle.. Capability of the reader to appreciate literature. How will one reach this level ? When you start reading, do you start at this level of excellence to understand and appreciate the literature ? To me, you grow as a reader. Over the years, you develop these skills to appreciate good from the rest and that skills can not be developed overnight. Re-reading a book after a span of few years do give me a different perspective. Your knowledge , your reading habits, your thought processes change as you grow older. At each stage of your "reading career" , there is a level of understanding the fiction.
