My father read me a few bed time stories when I was young, and I remember he used to read a lot. He never told me to read, I just did. I went through all his books and found some of his old childhood books and I read them simply because I could (It was when I had just learned to read by myself, and anything with sentences was exiting and new), and that just seems to stay with you.

It's not that people don't read, that's not what's terrible. What's terrible is that some people seem to lack the basic drive to learn any knew information or have any curiosity at all.

The solution to all of this mindpain, of course, is not to surround yourself with idiots. So I'm never even mad.
