and was a fan of Howard, Poe, Stoker, Wheatley at 11. Depends on what interests you. I remember the librarian calling my home and asking if it was okay to allow me to check out "adult" material. Parents said "at least he can read"
Favorite quote "books are the window to the universe" character stacks some books so he can look out the porthole of the space ship.
