Asking for "books" in general for Christmas as an 11 year old? Yeah, this dude has been a turbo-nerd his whole life. And I say that as a former Asian kid who got books for Christmas as an 11-year-old.

Is it only asking for "books" in general that makes you a turbo-nerd? Tbf I find it weird for an older child to ask for "books" instead of specific books. But I have asked for specific books as gifts my whole childhood... I think when I was like 6-ish I would ask for "books" because I just knew I liked reading but not any specific books. But by that age I was asking for specific books.

Yeah I think it's weird to just ask for "books" in general lol Like imagine any kid just asking for "video games" like they don't care whether it's Tetris or CoD

Same. mao-red-book (Actually it was mostly the new, early Terry Prattchet Discworld books back then. But a lot of those have pretty based politics too)
