Oh!  So it's work already learned.

Being as dyslexic as I am I read faster upside-down and backwards.  My 
daughter used to laugh and tell freinds that she only had five books as a 
child but 500 stories.  I don't know if I ever got anyone of them straight.  
With textbooks I'm a moron.  I substitue with being a good listener and 
sorting the heard word into the correct catagories so I had a 4.0.  With 
novels it takes months of off/on reading, then I could start the same book 
again and it would be a new story!  I've done it!!
