Honestly I didn't really read books when I was a child. I was far too busy building shit out of lego to match the tv program I was watching at the time or kicking a ball around the garden. I didn't really get into reading until my teens on the influence of my big sister who shoved her Dragonlance books at me when I showed a bit of interest.
To be honest I doubt whether it would have made a whole lot of difference either way. I'd probably still like the things I like in much the same way as I like them now and I'd probably still do the same things I do. I just started with Dragonlance instead of Star Trek if you see what I mean.
What it does mean is that my fond rose coloured glasses aren't of LotR as is the case for so many. I can freely say I found *all* of the Frodo parts of the book to be insanely boring filler between all the great Aragorn parts. Whihc is probably why it took me nine months to read the damn book when it only took me two weeks to read the similarly lengthy Cryptonomicon.
