How has serious reading changed you?
For me there was a very noticeable, profound change in my entire way of thinking after about three or so years of serious reading, I just hit this sort of critical mass of knowledge where I suddenly exploded into intellectual self-awareness in a way that humiliated me, where it just hit me that what had passed for intelligent thought and reading comprehension when I was in college was only a shadow of the real thing.

Reading has not changed me in any meaningful way as I have been reading since infanthood. There is no version of 'me' to compare it to.

Reading doesn't change you, you just have more vocabulary and philosophical knowledge to further enforce whatever biases you already held

This. It just expands your expressive capabilities. It's not like you'll somehow become enlightened by reading this or that philosophical guru.

I'm still as miserable as I was before, but now I can realize that misery in exciting new ways fucking kill me.
