Yes, I spent hours reading the World Book Encyclopedia. My parents had a set from the same year I was born (I assume bought for the benefit of my older brother), so by the time I was old enough to be reading it, it was quite dated, but it was still fun. And I learned some godawful useless stuff that I've since forgotten... like how to construct a regular pentagon, or how to extract a square root.
