I see nothing that I can ever recall while I'm reading. I can force myself to visualize what it must look like, or I'll get a glimpse of something, but never 'movie style' like some people were saying. Oddly, even several years after reading a book, I'll see scenes play out in my head. Especially from Louis L'Amour novels. Something will remind me of a certain scene from a book and I wont right away know if the scene was from a movie or a book. It's always crystal clear and movie-like to me when something reminds me of the scene. But never during the actual reading. (Well, it must be there during the reading or else where did it come from? But I have no real knowledge of it happening.) I find it strange also that sometimes it's actual people, but most of the time I visualize the scenes anime style with drawn characters.

This must be a simple block or veil which can be lifted….any clues out there?
