I have aphantasia (lack of minds eye) but still enjoy reading but I never picture the story in my mind. I do find long descriptive passages tedious as I am not building up the picture myself.
I was wondering if you also have aphantasia how it affects your reading or enjoyment of books.
My daughter says she can almost smell some scenes in books, which I have also never experienced as I can’t recall smells, nor do smells trigger memories.
