Never been tested, but my dad has dyslexia.
Well... That Sounded Bad

Which gives you a genetic predisposition to it too

I'm not one of those people that claims I have something I don't know if I do or not. Sure, there's a possibility, but I'm not gonna go around saying I'm dyslexic.

...which is why you listen to them... while you exercise.
I just finished Terry Brooks "The Tangle Box" and have just moved on to "Wizard At Large" I do believe it is. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've "read" through them. I did actually READ them once too.
No, you would have to be diagnosed with it first...Back in 1986, I had a very good friend that I noticed might have dyslexia.
How I came to that conclusion was looking at his set of encyclopaedias and as you might know, each volume is numbered.
I saw #21 where #12 should be and vice-versa, and #31 and #13 etc. etc. etc....He just looked in disbelief at me and lamented the fact that no one has ever pointed out to him anything like this before, not even in school...He scheduled an appointment with his doctor who confirmed it for him.

I do listen to audio books. That's the only way I can actually stay interested in most books...which is why you listen to them... while you exercise.

All of that. Read what I said again (as much as you hate reading) and notice I never said you were or that you should claim it. I said you show signs of it and have a VERY STRONG genetic link to somebody that does. It doesn't get much stronger than your parent.
More clues to your potential Dyslexia...
I forgot to mention how I got him to really see it though.
I pointed at the first book, #21 that was in the #12 spot and asked him what number was it, he said 12, I went down the line to all the misplaced numbered books and then asked him to look at each one again, take his time and concentrate on each number.
The look on his face was incredulous, he just couldn't believe it he was doing this for all those years.

I don't own enough book series to have an issue like that.
