That's me. I never read books on my own as a kid. The only ones I read were the ones forced upon me by my teachers; and even then, I sometimes refused to read some of them.
I was an adventuring monkey, swinging through the trees, hiking, camping, snorkeling, exploring caves, etc. If I saw a sign that said "keep out" or "restricted area", that was an invitation for me to enter and explore. For the most part, my hobbies took me to the great outdoors (rock collecting, photography).
