    Ide love to see what you can see when you read or listen to a book. It would take so much less energy to read as much as i do. It must be like watching a movie playout inside your head with the best narrator i could imagine

      You’re spot on. I genuinely tend to forget if I’ve read a book or watched a movie/series if it’s been a few years.

      I’m a 1 on that chart and I struggle to understand how you can even follow what’s happening in a book without being able to imagine it.

      I mean, you have to be able to fill in the gaps don’t you? Books can’t describe every detail.

        Short answer is, you can’t. That’s why I don’t read books.

        Longer answer is that even if you read a book you can still understand what of happening in the book, you simply won’t get a visual image of what you read. Makes books pretty boring to read IMO.
