I can relate to this so hard. I've no idea how many books I read as a kid, but often several per week. I still love reading, obviously, it's just that I don't dedicate as much time to do it anymore. Been trying to pick the habit back up though.

One of the quirks I developed as a result of my reading habits, is that I'd use very dated terms when speaking my native tongue. I have so many early-1900s insults in my head, it's almost unfortunate I never get to use them.

Same, though I also think that the people testing me did not have the requisite reading comp to make a test... I sure as hell did not get Ender's Game when I first read it, even though I passed the AR test

I was there by 5th grade and read grade 5 in first grade. I never read a ton, but I gave cred to my grandma, who would read me "the pokey little puppy" when I was 2 and 3 and 4 years old like every night I was there (a lot).

I had the book memorized and was able to follow along to all the words without knowing how to actually read or anything about sounds. Apparently that was a big leg up in learning to read.

Same for me was told I was super smart but if it ain't history, evolutionary biology, geography, cartography, or mechanical technology it's basically all just a puddle. Knowing how to read maps good and which way is north instinctually is fucken useless nine times out of ten nowadays.
