Yes but some people are just processing the meaning of the words, building understanding of the story and some people are actually “vocalising” the words or dialogue as they go along… like an audio book performed by them, in their head. 

It’s really trippy to think about isn’t it. All the things our brains do every day are so easy to take for granted and are really, weirdly complicated when you try to break them down.

I’m guilty of both, I guess. When I read normally, I read it in my head. 

But if I get *really* engrossed in a story I’ve found myself “watching” it instead, to such a degree that I’ll come back from the toilet and start looking for the tv remote because it felt like I was actually watching the book on tv… despite the fact I continued reading while on the toilet 😂
