Similar, but not identical, to your position: I did read a lot of books by age 10. Western books, classics in my own country - but only in my own country and a small part of the rest of the world (no one really speaks our language). It is very annoying to me that it sometimes seems you are 'expected' to have read stuff like Pride and Prejudice, while no one in the English speaking world seems to have heard of the classics that had an impact on your culture and life. 18th and 19th century English literature is nearly impossible for me to get through, but it seems that those are the 'standard classics every educated person has read' according to some parts of fandom.
