Should I read my SICP today?

I used to lurk around world4ch /prog/ before I was actually interested in programming, and I will always remember their mantra regarding this book. Was it all just pointless spam? Or was this a legitimately good book to be introduced into programming by?

Not really. Well, maybe, but just because you don't know all the theory behind forming a cardinal relationship between two sets doesn't mean you can't count rocks on your fingers.
