Yes, I do, it's like reading/learning any foreign language, something I've had quite a bit of experience with.  It's really not difficult at all to read them backwards, and gets easier every time I do it.

When it gets too easy, I may stop writing that way and go on to something else.

John,
 
i wonder if you read them aloud enough to answer this - do you find ir getting easier as you go on? I'm thinking not so much of the result of practice by reading the same text repeatedly, so much as whether you detect a transferable ability to read these unfamiliar  sgnirts

I read the words as they lie on the page, that is, backwards.  Which is more fun than a lerrab fo syeknom!  In fact, it feels like letting the monkeys OUT of the barrel -

John:  When you perform these do you read the backwards words backwards or forwards?  Just curious.  I love the interaction some of these pieces are generating on the fluxlist.  ~mIEKAL
