I’m dyslexic and this happens with me all the time.
I see no problem with it really.

Go outside and read all day

But go inside and write all night.
And paint, and garden, and soak in my tub

'What is the taste of bread? That of the first piece I eat when I am hungry or the one I eat after, when I am full? What is the smell of roast? The good, dear aroma that overpowers all other smells and wafts about me as I search in vain for food, or that of the piece left over on my table? And the eye, what does the eye see? I truly believe that everyone can experience the dubious sight of one’s eye and be uncertain as to the faces of those closest to him. Look at the face of a friend you trust and you find a noble visage. You locate the nobility either in the nose or the forehead or “a certain something of the eyes”; look at him when he has betrayed you and you see a vile mouth, a sinister glance, “an expression that’s just not right.” (And if one looks at a woman before and after one has had one’s way with her, the contradiction strikes even more stridently). What is the experience of reality? If I am hungry, reality is nothing more to me than an ensemble of more or less edible things. If I am thirsty, reality is more or less liquid, and more or less potable. If I am sleepy, it is a great bed more or less hard. If I am not hungry, not thirsty, not sleepy, and do not need any other determinate thing, the world is a large ensemble of grays that are I don’t know what but that certainly are not made to cheer me up.'

What the fuck is going on, I've read 23 books so far this year but for the last two months I've only read one book. What the hell is going on? I thought I would be reading even more during summer.

Any recommendations about how we acquire information or perceive the world around us? I'm starting from zero here.
