[quote=Anonymous]I have an advanced degree in English Literature, and I was in gifted programs throughout my high school years. Last week, I reread the Narnia books, and I enjoyed them tremendously, despite the fact that I can actually read at a much "higher level." I must be really stupid because I sometimes enjoy reading books below the highest reading level of which I am capable. If I were really gifted, I would be bored by anything beneath the standard of the Bard. Also, I actually sat down and read my DD's copy of Where the Wild Things Are last night after I found it under the sofa. I was fascinated by the way the author achieved an intense, distinctive tone in so few words. If I were gifted, I would probably be reading The Tempest right now. Anything less would be boring.
