man sometimes all the weird shit i did as a kid comes back to me and im like "why did i read about incorruptible saints obsessively when i was like 7"
other weird shit i used to read as a child:
- the phonebook
- like three or four books on the ghosts of st. augustine
- the encyclopedia (it had an astronomy section which is where i learned about the hertzsprung-russell diagram and the tolman-oppenheimer-volkof limit)
- manuals on electrical wiring
- "the book of the sandman and the alphabet of sleep", a really old and weird book that was falling apart but was my favorite book of all fucking time until i was like 10 or something
