focused.

focused.

Yep, focused.

I was going to say disciplined - as in self-disciplined - but focused is better.

Cerebral.

It varies on your intention. Are you:
1) describing yourself?
2) describing a friend?
3) describing someone you don't like?
4) describing someone that you would like to make sexy time with?

How about: "He/She has an aptitude for reading difficult and dense books, like philosophical tomes."

 

[iJohnHenry]

Cerebral.

Yes, often expressed as "gifted".

Either that, or an Idiot Savant.

Sometimes the lines are blurred.

 

[vincenz]

"Patient" is a good one.

insane.

I speak as one of those being described so I feel allowed to answer in such a way....

If someone told me that I could live my life again free of depression provided I was willing to give up the gifts depression has given me—the depth of awareness, the expanded consciousness, the increased sensitivity, the awareness of limitation, the tenderness of love, the meaning of friendship, the apreciation of life, the joy of a passionate heart—I would say, ‘This is a Faustian bargain! Give me my depressions. Let the darkness descend. But do not take away the gifts that depression, with the help of some unseen hand, has dredged up from the deep ocean of my soul and strewn along the shores of my life. I can endure darkness if I must; but I cannot lie without these gifts. I cannot live without my soul.

Platonic?

Lol, as in "won't ever get laid. Ever."
