[stylist] reading braille

[The Crowd]

Those cards are not the easiest things to read. Invest in a book. Do you 
have a slate and stylus? I'd get one of those too. Ifr you can aford a 
brailler, get one of those. If you have normal feeling in your fingers, like 
Donna said, you should eventually become able to distinguish the dots, then 
it is practice, practice, practice!
