SICP

Say, someone who has no prior experience with programming, and is at a rather 'young' age (Teen still) wants to get ahead of the game, and start up now, rather than later. Would one go about this by reading SICP? I've seen it linked so many times, I've only got to think it's a start.

AFAIC it doesn't work in Haskell because they delay all the evaluations, I believe they have a special form foldl' or something that does it.
