nah ! but i'm easily confused when it comes to knowing where my "right" is from my "left" - there are things i can do with both hands and others i do with either the right or the left.
my brothers are the same and we have mild dyslexia - apparently it's all linked.
Must be very mild D cos you write perfectly in a FOREIGN language!!!
i recheck everything i write because it's filled with letters that are inverted.
your wee boys don't suffer from it do they ? |

About ten times I guess, maybe more, I lost count. I also committed a selfish act after one of their shows - you'll find my confession on selfishjean.com ;) I still feel guilty but had a great time! hehe |

are you talking about dyslexia ? didn't know there were medication for it.
one of my brother had the priviledge to be left-handed, dyslexic, and to need glasses - the whole nine yard !
in America it's crazy - all kids seem to have ADD.

There's no med for D - I was talking about both. Those with dyslexia were often on various strengths of Ritalin, for ADD. BUT the British schools were fantastic offering classroom support for kids who suffered from Dyslexia - haven't seen that here. |

I have a friend who does exactly the same thing, because she can't cope with the suspense, whatever the type of novel. Simply, she NEEDS not to be shocked! It's a syndrome for her.
Not for me. I've just read a stunning book, Going East by Matthew D'Ancona, part "urban thriller", part love story, and each and every page was gripping. There is no way the book would have had any value if I'd read the end first.
ps. Recommended for the beach! |

Oooh a good holiday read, thanks Tonie. I KNOW I shouldn't look but I think I've done it with about every book I've read so far - maybe this is some sort of compulsive disorder, LOL. |

It's a pleasure. And as for the compulsive thing....well I didn't like to say.... ;)
Only teasing. Seriously, some people get more pleasure out of reading a book that way. Whatever works for you!
