I wonder how you'd get on with the book Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban. It's set in England in the far future after a nuclear war, and is written in "a distinct form of English whose spelling often resembles a phonetic transliteration of a Kentish accent."
A friend of mine recommended it to me, and when I started reading it I thought he was insane. Here's the opening paragraph:
"On my naming day when I come 12 I gone front spear and kilt a wyld boar he parbly ben
the las wyld pig on the Bundel Downs any how there hadn’t ben none for a long time befor
him nor I aint looking to see none agen. He dint make the ground shake nor nothing like
that when he come on to my spear he wernt all that big plus he lookit poorly. He done the
reqwyrt he ternt and stood and clattert his teef and made his rush and there we wer then.
Him on 1 end of the spear kicking his life out and me on the other end watching him dy. I
said, ‘Your tern now my tern later.’ The other spears gone in then and he wer dead and
the steam coming up off him in the rain and we all yelt, ‘Offert!’"
I'm not sure whether being dyslexic would actually help or hinder you in reading the book, but it's cracking tale.
