> Nice humblebrag. Also, I find this hard to believe.

If they did, they didn't tell me about it. That might tell you how much the other kids talked to me. Not much of a brag now is it? :-D

However, I have good reason to believe it. I went to the public library every weekend when I was in elementary school. I never, ever ran into anyone from my class there in all those years. If the other kids in my class at age 9 read for pleasure, they weren't anywhere close to me in volume.

It's not a brag, and not a real achievement. The tallest kid in a class at age 14 might only be of average height in a crowd 10 years later. This is the same thing.



Many kids never visit the library except during school visits. They get books as gifts and read them at home.
