Lucky. I did a lot the same, but the hard way -- I had a bible, and I had that lovely D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths (http://tinyurl.com/jf9cu) (which I still have somewhere -- think I'll go track that down), and I had a telescope and a microscope and a library just a few blocks away, and my Sunday School teacher had no idea how to deal with me. Eventually, she didn't have to worry about it, as I just stopped going.
