Same here. I read way above my level. So I always borrowed my older brother's books and read those. This was back when I read a shit ton. Parents never allowed me to play video games during the school week, and my homework took me zero time at all, and with nothing on TV ever on AFN, I just read whatever I could get my hands on.
