1. I did read some of it when i was in 7th grade but since you cannot compare the comprehension level of yours when you are in 7th with that when you are a masters degree holder.
2. Then you must praise me for same habit which Agha saheb had
as my father had specially encouraged me to read everything and I remember reading such pieces of paper wherein we used to buy either bread or other such grocery items. Opening the envelop carefully and read.
3. I have studied everything under the sun from religious books to modern science even literature that is considered vulgar but since as you mentioned your father had encouraged reading to understand what is to be appreciated of what really is literature, same goes with me.
