Sounds like me.

This child reads to escape this house. She reads books, magazines, all the outdated encyclopedias, the shampoo bottles in the shower, the cereal boxes, all the cookbooks, the Bible, all the instruction manuals in house, all the books in the Children’s section of the library, all the words in the hymnal and the dictionary. When she is punished, which is often, she is forbidden from reading.

Sounds like me. I read everything as a child, multiple times. Cereal boxes with breakfast were a particular favorite.
Beautiful article, thank you. I always loved agony aunt columns myself until many of them started moving behind paywalls. I still love Captain Awkward, and highly, highly recommend.
