I'm really glad for the kid, but was anybody else concerned by the fact that he doesn't listen to music? Or that he dismissed the Harry Potter books because they had no objective gain for him? Whatever happened to having fun for the sake of fun..? But I guess when you're a boy genius you have a different definition of fun.
I was impressed by his lack of interest in Harry Potter, as I consider it a pox on modern culture, but saddened by his lack of interest in music. To each, their own .. but I hope he discovers something frivolous and trivial, whether its music or trashy fiction, at some point in his life to enjoy. Genius without frivolity is often a fast road to torture and anguish, a fact that wouldn't be true if it weren't for the fact of the existence of both music, and trashy fiction, in perpetuity ..
