Is it just me or have we had a lot of "look at my literary prowess!" Secrets lately?

SA in this secret it's not so much the secret part that's bothersome, it's that it can't just be "this inspires me when I hadn't been" it's got to be "I read Tolkien when I was a kid! I argue with my teachers and quote classics!"

On the one hand, that is kinda dumb. On the other hand, I often feel bad about caring about things like whether or not people say gauche things like that. I mean really who cares? We get 70 or 80 years on this rock and I'm supposed to spend my time worrying whether some person on the Internet is expressing their reading habits in sufficiently reasonable ways? But I do care. Can't stop myself from judging.

Gonna quote what I said to the other anon -
That's the secret here - this character is a conceived douchebag who's every second line is a quote from some ~quality~ literature and he actually says that ebooks are trash and can't compare to ~real~ books, and my reaction is, hey, remember when you were like that? That was fun, let's do it again.

Wow, sour grapes.

It was the difference between all their freakishly early reading and then reading no books at all after discovering fanfic that was the whole point of this secret.

If the secret went "I read no books at all as a kid, then fanfic made me read so many words as a teen!" it would be an entirely different message.

If you're an early reader, of course you want to argue about it annoyingly with everyone. It comes with the territory of being precocious. Looking back, you see you were a brat when you were too young to control it.

To the OP: don't worry, your love for books does come back. It may take years, but as long as you're enjoying the fanfic in the meantime, it's all good. In my case, I nearly stopped reading books for about a decade, and I was also an early and prolific reader. Now I'm back to mostly reading books, but still enjoy the fanfic, so it's a double bonus.
