How does it affect your ability to enjoy books? Or type of books you’d enjoy?

Do you tend to prefer more visual medium like video(movies, tv), or comic books?

    That’s what I’ve heard other people say, and it just sounds insane. You’re in a world of fantasy literally seeing things that aren’t there and somehow that’s normal behaviour. Crazy!

    But I guess it seems weird to you how I can do anything without seeing things. I’ve had someone online get very angry with me for saying I have no visual imagination, because how can I even read and recognise letters if I can’t see them in my head?

    Humans are very weird sometimes! It’s nice that there are so many different ways to exist :)

      I think I’m kind of on the other extreme, I day dream a lot. It’s like I can experience anything I’ve experienced before on demand and replay it. Sometimes it’s annoying, it’s like someone left 3 TVs and 2 radios on in my head and I can’t turn it off.

      I didn’t know that was a thing until today, but also totally unsurprised, the brain is super weird.

      I don’t struggle to picture it though, that only works for me if the book is interesting. When it’s boring (ie. forced to read it and there’s a test), I think my brain falls back to how you read books.
