Having learned to read at like four years old greatly expanded available entertainment. Iirc by around fourteen or fifteen I discovered Japanese psychological surrealism in the form of Kobo Abe, while spending days at a country house with bupkis to do except read tons of books and magazines. Which discovery definitely affected my taste for the rest of my life.
