right-hand reader

An OCD-impaired bookworm who stubbornly keeps his gaze straight ahead when turning a page, and so he reads the right-hand side of the open book first, before reluctantly redirecting his gaze to the left-hand page.

Being a right-hand reader maybe be okay for a tome that has a separate item or article on each page (like a "Jim and Tim Talk Duct Tape" book or a "Choose Your Own Adventure" missive) and therefore may not have to be read in "progressive" order (i.e., from one page to the next) to make sense, but it can be exceedingly problematic for a "standard" essay that "flows forwards" through the entire book; attempting to be informed or entertained by reading this type of work's pages "out of order" can be very confusing.

Old enough to see well enough until it comes down to smaller print

I need my readers to see the temp & time these frozen fries need to be cooked.

Reader's coma

When you finish a book that had you completely absorbed, and you’re left so mentally drained and oddly incomplete that now you don't know how to go about your life and end up staring at a wall

Reader's coma hit me so hard, it left me in my rotting era!
