Ive shared with some, but only those i know and trust, the difficulties dyslexia brings me. Ypu know ive been so appreciative of the support ive received. Thanks ladies for your sharing too. Its much more common that we know, because its so unsafe to share... openness might change workplaces.

It was hard for me - but now I am a very good speller (at least in my native language, not in English!). Just like Jeanie I am much more challenged by numbers and they can actually let me break out in a sweat.<br /><br />Reading? I have always loved reading, since I was able to do it (which came much easier than writing). I simply enjoy it, it's the best way for me to disappear in another world and forget about mine for a while. I also love it when I learn something while reading. But reading is for enjoyment. If I don't enjoy a book, I stop reading it. I finally have given myself the permission that I don't have to finish a book if I don't like it. Time has become too precious to waste it with books I don't enjoy or engage with. I find reviews interesting even though I often realize I often don't fancy books others rave about. But that's another story.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141183946001080597.post-37011049373782429412019-10-22T02:32:00.012+11:002019-10-22T02:32:00.012+11:00I love this post, Tamara.

But I have and always have had a terrible time with numbers. Balancing checkbooks was my biggest nightmare. For years I worked as a bookkeeper and I was terrified every day that I would be found out, that I had to do the sums over and over to get them right. There is a highway junction near me that is 69 and 96, and they are east and west so there are signs with four versions of those two numbers and more than once I have taken the wrong direction because I couldn't process that fast. <br /><br />Here's my take on reading for pleasure. If it gives you pleasure, do it. If it doesn't find out why (reading the wrong authors? reading what you think you SHOULD instead of what you want?) and if you can fix it, do. Reading shouldn't be a chore. Goals are one thing, but slogging through is another if you aren't into the book. And like you, I enjoy reviews. I know not everyone will like what I do or vice versa and I'm OK with that, but it does introduce me to new titles.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.com
