Another data point. My oldest got 800 CR and was a huge reader - but of things like Harry Potter and the Redwall series, as well as some Sci Fi and Star Wars books. He also read newspaper and the old Newsweek, but much of his reading was really “comfort reading”. He did not spend any time on the classics, except as required for school. He went to States for the Geobee and was a huge Civ fan, but not sure we ever thought the two were connected. Certainly wasn’t studying geography facts however!
