save

Hello,

Would this work: "

Having grown up in an intensely mercantile family, I had no sense of the liberal arts save for the works of literature that I read when a kid." ?

Thank you.

Use either "read as a kid" or "read when I was a kid."

"Save for" is possible, but "except for" is far more common in ordinary English.
