I am similar. After some musing I found that I usually have a faint internal monologue when considering simple things such as, "what should I write in this reply". Mostly in situations where you might be caught saying something aloud on accident. When starting a book, the first page or so usually has strong monologue, but it disappears almost completely after that. Frequently I spend hours in a row random thought. During these periods I cannot remember hearing an internal monologue. There are very likely other times that I am not conscious of the monologue. At the moment, trying to think I am floating in and out of monologue. I suppose this may be because I am somewhat focused on whether I do or not.
