- Koshkin 8y agoPerfect for automatic readers though.
- justinator 8y agoToo bad I'm not an automatic reader!
- pavel_lishin 8y agoI've been an automated reader since I was probably, what, five years old?
- ineedasername 8y agoMe too, I didn't even mean to read your comment, but as soon as my eyes saw it: boom, processed and read. like a computer without virus scan or security or anything, to see the words was to run their executable on my wetware.
- tigershark 8y agoI actually remember to have had severe headaches when I was something like 4 or 5 and I experienced the passage from deliberate reading and automatic reading.
