I'm rarely consciously perceiving the words on the page when I read, it's a movie in my head.

That’s how I read. I just see it happening in my head. But I thought everyone read like that until recently when I found out that my husband didn’t!
Then I read one book where I didn’t get any pictures. None. I don’t know what was wrong, but I couldn’t see the movie at all.
