When I was a kid I used to avoid books and reading, anything related to literature. Sports was what I wanted, sports, sports, sports, any type of activity. I was hungry for speed and agility, but when I hit my late teens and early 20s, I became more interested in reading.

Reading about other people's lives, experiences, how they've handled problems and difficulties in their paths. All the sports and activity is still there, replaced by gym iron, or free-hand home workouts, but now there's some mental exercise too, thanks to some of these books that I've collected. Also, thanks to the very few people who've suggested the right books.
