Thank you for sharing your story first off.

As far as getting reads in a live game without looking up...
Clearly you are not taking in all the information you can if you aren't looking at your opponents and this in some way handicaps you, however more important than doing the textbook is doing what works for you. So maybe you've found a mental system that you can master using only the information you gain from the factors you mentioned. You pay very close attention to time to bet, amount of bet maybe even how they toss the chips in the middle. If this is working for you at the level you want to be playing at then I wouldn't recommend straying far from this philosophy for the time being. You could of course benefit from reading material out there on live play and cash games. Another reason I say stick with what you got is because I think some players experience "information overload" when playing live. They'll look at their opponents bet, body posture, history of plays etc and they will get a conflicting story which ends  up costing them $ in the end. If you have a simple read that is accurate, then stick. BUT, be sure that your read is accurate and you aren't being over-confident... we all have much to learn.
