Extroverts obviously. Might as well keep it extremely broad.

@MarkPaul with the exception of Poe they all wrote for their readership. I had Poe's complete works as a child BTW.

And you are not like to come close to how many sci-fi/fantasy books that I have read. Literally in the low thousands. Definitely all the great one's.

@DeWayfarer Well, I focus more on non-fiction.

@MarkPaul Guy, I really am a polymath! 🤣

I could have even been ordained once. My father gave me the complete 30 volume encyclopedia Americana set plus others as a baby.

I just never was the genius he wanted me to be.

At 8 I took the TV apart. Managing to not kill myself on the capacitor.

For sex education he let me find a medical book on female anatomy. Yeah he knew it was me that took it. I was his only child.

At 12 I learned a bit a bit of Spanish in grade school to compliment the German my family frequently spoke. My father could speak 7 languages. I was as well apart of a combined school choir that appeared at the main convention center of our city.

At 13 I learned to play three musical instruments: Accordion, clarinet and classical guitar. My father was a violinist.

At 14 I traveled to Germany by myself. Yes I could speak a bit of German.

At 15 the Jr high school marching band I was apart of took sweepstakes at Seal Beach. I as well took second place in wrestling in the county.

At 16 I helped build my own motorcycle from a crate. Yeah my father bought that crate.

At 17 and 18 I lived with my half brother and his wife that was going for her master's degree in behavioral psychology. I was her thesis!

My reading diversity was beyond belief just by the time I reached college.
