Something we think, but never say...

"I feel like such a pervert walking around in the children's section in the bookstore."

-Erica L. Bogart
In regards to buying a book on dyslexia.

Funny, I had a similar story with finding my book on dyslexia. When I rushed to the bookstore, as soon as I walked in I thought, "Wait a second...how am I going to find ONE SPECIFIC book about a reading learning disability when I can barely read? The only area I am familiar with is the photography & magazine area."

So I looked in the self help section first. Nothing there. Then education area. Nothing there either. I got distracted by some cultural books. Then I moved to fiction and religious areas. I started getting desperate. I began to walk down every aisle. FINALLY, I stumbled upon children's learning disability section. I actually was surprised to see a whole bunch of dyslexia books. I guess kids would be more affected by serious dyslexia than adults. Never the less, I was looking for one learning disability book. After I read the first few pages, I read that once a person realizes they have mild or moderate dyslexia, a huge burden is lifted off their shoulders. It was true. And for once, I felt like I had another chance to read.
