Poll: How old were you when you first learned how to read?

I believe I was 2, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The sense in which it's good is very obvious, but the bad thing?

I used to often make fun of kids who couldn't read when I reached kindergarten, pre-primary, and even in 1st grade.

It was extremely enjoyable for me, but I don't think they enjoyed it much, still though, to this day, I enjoy mocking those with inferior intelligence, I know it's cruel, but it's fun.

BQ: Your favourite book from when you were a small child?

Update:

@Tweety Bird:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, oh lord, this never gets old.

    I'm not supposed to be able to read at all, the way my brain is wired. I surprised the doctors.

    Now I can get though 500 or 600 pages in a day, more if I really want to, and I'm an English major and have written several short stories.

    BQ: the book that started it all for me "Sarah's Unicorn" by Bruce Coville.

    I had no interest in reading until I was 4, at which point I learned very quickly.

    BQ: I didn't read books as a small child. The only reason I learned to read was so that I could read Calvin & Hobbes strips on my own.
