    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.

        English isn’t my native tongue, and that’s not an insult, but that shouldn’t be very hard. The word is self-explanatory.
