I'm guessing you enjoy reading books (philosophical, historical, psychological). Am I mistaken? And if true, what are some of the books you've enjoyed reading.
Actually I was a weird kid. As a child I would spend hours reading encyclopedias. I was terribly dyslexic. I still am dyslexic and did terribly at school and left it barely able to write properly. Lot of stuff in there but my ability to convey what was in there was very diminished. I wrote slowly and laboriously and my syntax, grammar, punctuation and spelling was appalling.
Still that did not matter. What I thought was important was learning and I COULD read. Money earned in an after hours job gave me enough money to pay for tutoring to pass the weaker subjects to get me through year 11. I started working. A few subjects at night school in legal studies got me (without the pressure of performance) to learn to write properly and so on.
I still have a quest for learning. I have studied Philosophy and Ancient History at University.
I do still read article upon article whenever I can on anything remotely interesting on the internet or at libraries but book reading generally is not something that I do a lot of.
Probably the best reading book I have read recently is The Holy Blood and Holy Grail,
Whilst this was lambasted as a fraud and what have you, the history that in the text and the many of the integral points in the book are far from fraudulent. Best it has proved is that there was a guy trying to falsely connect himself to Jesus by bloodline and that he did forge some documents. Whilst everyone waves the proof around saying that this proves everything in the book was bogus, it is simply not so.
