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.
