Wierd?!!!
I think you rock.
If my child (when my wife and I hopefully have one) showed your unquenchable thirst for knowledge I would be absolutely DELIGHTED.
I learnt to love knowledge when I was young. I too have the same thirst as you, but in a more cerebral (or "armchair") basis. I don't have time to get my hands dirty, so I read a lot. About almost everything.
My mother used to say "reading feeds the brain" and (my favourite) "Knowledge is its own reward."
To be honest, I'm disappointed to hear your parents seem to be dissuading you from this.
I don't think you are wierd. I think you are an example to us all.
