levens Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 hiya, I'm an occasional book dipper, I'm dyslexic but not in the traditional sense as I can pin words down to the page but can't have two conversations at once particulaly with a coffee machine dragging grounds through pipes hence joining the virtual book club, if I win the lottery I will open a tea house with only filter coffee, book shelves, no phones and no laptops...anyone else from Birmingham? or a mature student?, studying art?, or only read in fits and starts when stressed?

Ben Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) I'm a student, not so sure about mature. Seems we're both creative people; you learn towards the arts, and I enjoy the creative writing side of things. I've enjoyed reading from a very young age and can't associate with the stop-start type of reading personality, but it's interesting to hear the thoughts of someone dyslexic. As for the coffee shop with lots of bookshelves, if that ever becomes a thing let me know, it sounds wonderful. In any case, welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll love it.

vodkafan Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi and welcome levens, not a student but I used to draw and paint and sculpt. Stress can certainly mess up your reading, I am not dyslexic but I can identify with that. Yet reading can also be a very therapeutic , de-stressing activity; paradox eh? I guess you have to discipline yourself to read a little every day. Quote
levens Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Hiya, yes, writing too drys up for me. which is also relaxing...think I am just wired odd!, I'm in a reading phase now where I will devour most things in days... Quote
pickle Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Levens welcopme to the BCF, I do draw and paint sometimes but only when I have the time...not dyslexic but I do like quiet when I read and then I lose myself in a book. Quote
LittleW Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I don't really have a sense for arts. I think, it's normal, that you do have to be in the right mood for reading. Sometimes I nearly can't do anything else, then I barely read a couple of pages a day. I don't need it quiet while reading. I wished, I could read and listen to music the same time. But mostly I don't hear the CD anymore when reading. Quote
