Okay, I don't always do it--especially if it's really interesting to me, and I also try NOT to do it, but I often read backwards--especially if it's something long and extensive, or wordy and hard for my brain to process, I w/o even realizing it start at the bottom and skim up, and then maybe read bottom chunk and then read chunk above it, etc., to piece it together--anyone else do this?

I can read books fine. But on the internet I quite often do this. And when doing quizzes I start at the last question if possible and work my way up.

I don't know what you mean by "backwards".
But I CAN read upside down and when the page is to the side. Thease are extremely easy, about as easy as normal reading.
I can also read "mirror writing". A little more difficult, but hell. :D

What Satanic messeges?! 8O
(I read it, out loud. It's easy and a little slower than normal reading when you say it out loud.)

like the conspiracy to imbed backward messages on records so you ruin them trying to hear the messages and have to buy new ones.

(for the younger readers, "Records" were what they stored analog music on back in ancient times. they consisted of a disc of vinyl with the music cut into rough grooves spiraling in toward the center. A stylus called a "needle" rode in these grooves and was vibrated by the roughness (which was the music) and thereby read the disc. The slightest bump (like a hampster passing gas) would be enough to cause the needle to jump out of this groove and destroy the record)

This concludes this history lesson for today.

Saw those on cartoons.
Maybe it was a money-making scam.

Well when I read La Presse (a French language newspaper in Quebec) I start from the end, where there is the daily caricature and the readers opinions,and then I read my way back to the cover, because I find the news at the end more interesting. :)

I had mild dyslexia when I was younger. When I am fatigued I still transpose.

I like to read and write backward and forward. I'm left handed so I think I started doing it to avoid smearing. I have recently reversed my signature so that I write it from right to left but it looks correct when finished.

I sometimes do. It depends on the layout of what I'm reading. :)

I often just read the ends of articles, because the front ends are full of nothing.

I used to read magazines from back to front.
