Reading?!
Hahaha, no, seriously ...... READING?!?!I've never been a reader and never will be.
It's hard to explain but ive never got much from reading, firstly, when I look at a page, it just looks like shapes - think the typographic side of my mind makes it into a shape that looks good or bad or whatever.
Secondly, i see it as a waste of time - sitting or lying reading something ... i'd much rather be doing something more enjoyable, scribbling, drawing, designing, taking photos or making music.
I thought that most creative people were like this but i'm obviously wrong as you's lot seem to love your books :P
maybe im just special :) lol

Skt,
Nah, seriously, it really doesnt do much for me at all.I have read some books in my time and enjoyed them but it was a chore and a struggle to get through them and i finished them just out of sheer determination hehe.
I really dont know WHY it is that I dont like reading, maybe it gives me too much to imagine and i get lost in thoughts rather than reading what's on the page and its a distraction.
Id much rather be spending my time being stimulated through visuals or audio to change my mood or take me to places rather than having to imagine with a book.- it sounds like you're dyslexic.paraselene
- have you been tested for dyslexia?********
- or what para said.********
- this must be how those pernicious internet diagnoses take hold...paraselene
