Communication, my friend. All people, introverted or extroverted, have a need for communication and books give us exactly the essential things, without all the banal small talk, which all intelligent people crave. I often think that I get so much pleasure from reading, poetry especially, because it makes me feel less alone. Whenever I see someone having a thought that I once had myself or describes what I am feeling I immediately feel life is less impossible to live because someone else has found a way to do it in my situation. That's why I love ancient literature, because it tells me that people have been having the same problems that I do for millenniums. It becomes kinda like a religion, making you feel small and unimportant.
I am quite drunk right now by the way, so don't make my post into a pasta if I said anything laughable. Peace.

Nah that was a solid answer.

I agree. I'm more into the older stuff too because I already feel connected enough to people around me its almost overwhelming.

I read books, watch tv and play video games because I don't like the real world. Nothing more.

>Does it go back to the cliche that we are just intellectually superior or does it have nothing to do with that, and more to do with personality type?

you're not intellectually superior, you just think you are. that is true of most people. the average person thinks they are better than average.

and you probably don't have much of a personality, either.
