Along these lines, I've also noticed that I read differently from most people. I never visualize what I'm reading. I read the words, but don't imagine the action or the people or places. The question "What does Hamlet look like?" makes pretty much no sense to me. In fact, I tend to skim quickly over highly descriptive passages (if they're long). In addition, although I'm a fluent reader of a few foreign languages, passages describing movement in space (say a drive or sail), completely lose me every time.
When I talk to people about reading, most think I'm weird, but every now and again, I find someone who is equally non-visual as a reader.
Thinking about this even a bit more, I realize that I probably could not give a coherent or useful description of anyone, no matter how well I know the person. Apparently, I use my eyes only to avoid oncoming objects. Weird.
