2.But if I omit the vocabularies, I do not find so the entire meaning of the passage.

Dear Dinesh

First of all I am extremely sorry for not replying to you immediately.

The reason being, i did not see your mail until today. i received a host of junk mails and your mail was hidden among them.

today when i was deleting the mails i found yours.

again i am extremely sorry for annoying you.

Now let's come to your questions. 

I am not a voracious reader to give any advice to you but the primary purpose of sharing my thoughts in my blog is 

to create an interest among readers.

anyways, i will try to give my suggestions to you.

lets go point by point.


1.So many vocabularies come in the book. If i go after i loose the somewhat meaning what i got.

You don't need to know the exact meaning of many words. you can always understand meaning of words to the context of the paragraphs. Mostly i found it fascinating that when i come across a new word, the word starts to keep coming at me from various directions even from my daily life.
Hence the point is to continue reading and never worry about the exact meaning of the words.

another suggestion would be , we can select books that have lower vocabulary level.

Famous Authors like John Grisham, Ken Follet, Daniel Steel  write with a simple vocabulary.

3.Moreover If I know all the vocabularies, But I am not able to construct the entire passage in meaning .

This is in regard to the content of the passage. Some time we need background information to understand the content.

It's actually thrilling when you just give your meaning to the passage as you read. when you keep on reading you will see the decision of your own understanding keeps changing.

never worry about understanding too. No one gets the same experience as another. even the experience you gain by reading the same material twice will be different (enhanced probably)

I am reading anna karenina now. I am sure the experience i gather would be different from the one gained by you or Jeyamohan.

I think the main obstacle to reading is laziness. if we make it a habit to read continuously you will see your ability to comprehend 
also shoots up. Some times when i feel i dont have interest to continue i will start reading aloud. sometime later i will be in the grew and reading smoothly.

this is what comes to my mind.

just write your experiences.

Will keep in touch.

Please pardon me if think i have insulted you.

regards

jegadeesh
