    Asking for “books” in general for Christmas as an 11 year old? Yeah, this dude has been a turbo-nerd his whole life. And I say that as a former Asian kid who got books for Christmas as an 11-year-old.

      Is it only asking for “books” in general that makes you a turbo-nerd? Tbf I find it weird for an older child to ask for “books” instead of specific books. But I have asked for specific books as gifts my whole childhood… I think when I was like 6-ish I would ask for “books” because I just knew I liked reading but not any specific books. But by that age I was asking for specific books.

        Yeah I think it’s weird to just ask for “books” in general lol Like imagine any kid just asking for “video games” like they don’t care whether it’s Tetris or CoD
