Summary/Abstract: The paper starts with the study of Marie-Laure Ryan Narrative as Virtual Reality. Her typology of the immersive and interactive reader is revised by the anticipation of the hypothetical trompley (trompe l’ oeil) reader. He is explained through comparisons of similarities and differences in relation to the addicted reader who is often subject of referential or affective misconceptions. The second type of differentiation,in the virtual world of electronic media, is established in relation to the concept of the game by Roger Caillois and his equating reading with mimicry games. We follow the genesis of the reader from the conceptualization of Don Quixote syndrome reader, precedes the fake reader (the protagonist of postmodernist prose of Cortázar, Borges, Pavić, Petrović) to the anticipation of trompe l’ oeil-reader.
