I read the first three of five chapters of SICP (along with the MIT lecture videos) in high school and loved it, but I totally disagree with Norvig's car analogy. I did not care for SICP because it told me how computers or even computer programs ran. I cared about it because it made me think differently. It is a book for how to think about these classes of problems, not a book on the inner workings of complex programs. At least, that's what I got out of it the most. I've always been on the theoretical side of things.
