I wouldn't worry too much about the 11-year old. My sister was the odd one out in our family of readers. She didn't start reading until she was 18 or 19 - but then there was no holding back. She is still the odd one out with the bookchoices she makes - but that's another story.

Maybe he says whatever he says so you discuss him and satisfy his ego? You never know.

I wonder why anybody (as a member of this forum once said)
Quote:
gives the tiniest rat's ass
about what Average Joe/Jobs says?

Everytime this Average person says something, people run here and open topics discussing what he said. Do you do the same when your neighbour says something?
