I like to read aloud, alone.

I have ADHD and I think it started because it helped me. Because sometimes when I read in my head I’ll think about something totally unrelated and then I have to reread the pages I read. However I asked some friends if they read aloud and they seemed to think that was insane. Now I’m also thinking this is likely insane. But I really enjoy it. Sometimes I even choose to read at home over a coffee shop so that I can read aloud.

Am I the only person who likes to read aloud by themselves?

    I used to read my textbooks aloud when I was studying for tests and had a hard time focusing and understanding the material, so I totally get it. I don’t usually do it with fiction because it takes me much longer, but sometimes when I come across a part I particularly like, I read it aloud to savor it, so to speak.
