Wow. I couldn't even read when I was five, let alone finish any more intelligent books than "Mary and her Little Basket" when I was six. Are you quite sure you're human?

At least there was no confusion for me - I am still the exact same age as I was when I first read the Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion. Miraculous, no?
