If that was a serious question I think you were an exception, at least to
99% of the people I knew in high school.
Of course, high schools here tend to make people shy away from reading
simply by the sheer number of boring books they make you read for Dutch
and English, plus for German and French and any other language you might
take...

Would the Literacy skill also include knowledge of literature, or just
give you the ability to read faster than the average person?
