My father was a pathological narcissist and a hoarder and he was pretty much absent throughout my life. He had lots of books but he would never lend me one, so I grew up without.
Now that he is dead, his books are stored in cardboard boxes which I'll probably never open, since I associate those books with him.

At least sell them or something. If you just give them away you don't even have to open the boxes.

When I was growing up the only kids who read were the losers whose parents were too poor to buy them a game console.

Not everyone wants their kid to grow up into the kind of friendless beta aspie that you see on this board.
