Saw a guy on the 7:15 train to Boston reading a book upside down

He was totally focused, turning pages like it was normal. It made me wonder if he was just messing around or if he actually reads that way. Has anyone else seen something like that on their ride?

Used to think reading upside down was impossible until I watched my nephew do his homework. He has dyslexia and says flipping the text sometimes helps his brain process the letters better. Makes me wonder if that guy on the train has a similar reason for it.

Wait, he was turning the pages normally too? That's the part that really gets me. It means he wasn't just holding a book for a joke, he was actually reading it. I guess some brains just work in a totally different way.

So @dianahayes, maybe he's just practicing to read in weird positions for when he's lying down?
