I was 11 when I read Fahrenheit 451 and was staggered by it. The Martian Chronicles was a bit later, around 14. I was a geek before there were geeks, I knew of *no one* else my age who read for recreation much less read SF. It wasn't *cool* to read for fun. My parents would take the the family to the library once every two weeks and I'd spend an hour or so pouring over all the books, looking at magazines and reading newspapers from all over, at least the English language newspapers.
