Hey, I read nothing but non-fiction until fifth grade, whereupon the
teacher forced the issue by requiring a book report on a fiction book. :-)

I took no offense. :-) I read lots of fiction now. :)
The first fiction book I read was about a family captured by the giant
AI that is built into Phobos by the now-extinct Martians. I wish I could
remember the name - "Phobos is missing" or something like that...

I just can't imagine programming things morning, noon and night. It's
just my default state of being. ;-)

Er... Well I read the ingredients on things. Mainly for amusement value.
You find chemicals with names like "hydroxyethylcellulose". And you see
things like
"Cheese (20%)" [Found on a box of cheese. WTF?]
"Lemon juice (2%)" [Found on some lemonade.]
"Water, Sugar, Citric Acid, Vitamin C" [Found on some cheap lemonade.]
