My literacy is pretty good, in fact, my mother taught my brother to read at a young age and I (about 18 months younger) simply learned off her teaching him and just started reading without her instruction. That being said, after primary school, I just stopped reading. I'm not sure exactly why, but I just did, literally didn't read anything between the ages of 12 and now. I'm starting with Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathrustra and Beyond Good & Evil. I'm also most likely going to read some of the Greeks and perhaps some earlier philosophical works. Im also attracted to Russian thinkers, and I might make an effort to learn their language enough to be literate in it, so that I might read some originals. I will admit that I dislike poetry, but I find some works very intriguing like those of Edgar Poe. I think perhaps my aversion to books stems from a naive desire for self-reliance.
