I've never been "geeky" as in math/science/computer overachievers, but I became a "bookworm" as soon as I learned to read. I've been a Tolkein fan and Star Trek fan since the 1960's. I've always been considered odd in my family and in recent years I've been considered odd at work as well (my screensaver cycles about 250-300 images from FotR & TTT and I carry a book with me where ever I go [usually Tolkein]). But at 52, other people's opinions don't matter much to me. I enjoy my books (and my screensavers) and get on with my life.
