Really Nerdy

I just started reading Poetics by Aristotle and I've been enjoying the stimulation my brain is getting. It is especially helpful after a long day with nothing but kiddy talk. I read a sample to Aaron because he asked what it was about and he said (quoted verbatim), "It makes me think that he was a really nerdy person to write something that only other really nerdy people would even think about reading." Nice huh? It made me laugh but also made me think, maybe I really am that nerdy =). He says he didn't mean it like that but can anyone else think of another meaning where he's not calling me really nerdy?
