I read those How & Why science books at a very young age.

As a little kid, kid’s books didn’t do much for me. I was dreaded by the librarian for some reason.

My sixth grade class read The Count of Monte Cristo. Most of us tested at 12th grade reading level.

"I was reading Tolkien in elementary school"

Heh....Tolkien hadn't been published yet when I was in elementary school, but I was reading Sir Walter Scott.
