You again dare to be different (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reader

'you' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'again dare to be different' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'to be different' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'is different' mean this).
'dare' with letters rearranged gives 'ader'.
're'+'ader'='READER'

(Other definitions for reader that I've seen before include "Times subscriber, perhaps?" , "University lecturer, the highest rank below a professor" , "University academic" , "University lecturer; book of educational extracts" , "Proof checker" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
