Re: "When the other preschoolers were reading See Spot Run, I was reading Hamlet!"

I grew up retarded. My reading comprehension was pretty low for my grade level for most years, and while people in high schol were reading Les Misérables and Anne Rice and some other shit that flew over my head, I was struggling with book reports on stupid "young adult" novels that a ten-year-old wouldn't be impressed by.

I give less than a shit about people who talk about their advanced reading levels or long book lists at X age. Is it impressive? Well, sure. But like you said, it doesn't necessarily say anything about their ability to understand the material. I remember reading Calvin & Hobbes as a child, and then ten years later. While it's a comic strip and not a book, there were a lot of things I appreciated as an adult that I couldn't as a kid.
