My brother (definitely gifted) used to read encyclopedias back in the 80s. Any ideas on this?

DS10 also watches those kind of shows pretty much exclusively. Mythbusters, Through the Wormhole, Stormchasers, SciFi Science, How It's Made.

DD10 also prefers to watch those types of shows. Even when she was younger, she would rather watch How It's Made or CyberChase than anything on the Disney Channel or Nick Jr. She'd much rather read fiction though.
