I think I decided somewhere in the middle of my teens that "well read" wasn't something I cared to be... at least not in the traditional sense. I'd already been programming computers for seven or eight years, and tech was the kind of reading I was interested in. At that age business and startups weren't on the list (I didn't even know what a startup was and I wanted to be a long haired hippie hacker, so business wasn't interesting either). It was only when I hit thirty that business and startup books started to look interesting. Maybe it's because my hair decided that long wasn't what it wanted to be, in fact what it wanted was to not be. When people ask me if I've read Robinson Crusoe or Wuthering Heights or Great Expectations, I can look them in the eye and say yes, but that's only because back in the '80s, someone took the trouble to publish them in comic book form :D These days I read Pratchett.
