Yes!. I mentioned my dad had a small collection of books - the only ones he let me read were his E.E "Doc" Smith books. I think the rest were too adult for me at the age of 10/11. I devoured them and I'm sure that's where my love of science fiction started. There was a great comment on Hacker News in the discussion yesterday about Towel Day. The golden age of Fiction is 12.
