OMG! Thank you for being the first one brave enough to admit it. Now all of us who suffer from "theater of the mind" while reading can come out of the closet. Such a relief to know I am not the only one. Maybe we need to start a support group for...ah...I don't know what to call this affliction. Anyone got a suggestion?
I attribute mine to years of reading aloud to my children. My daughters will officially be teenagers next month, and they still enjoy having me read to them, complete with various voices, personalities, and accents. I channel my inner movie star...
