[quote=Anonymous]My DH doe snot read for pleasure.  He will sometimes bring a book or read something on vacation because he's bored because I am reading.  Or because he knows that he should be reading more.  (he reads online sports message boards about his college team, so he is capable of reading for "pleasure.")

My DD is 13 and loves stories.  She likes being read to, but only rarely reads novels.  She loves graphic novels, though.

My DS is 10 and loves to read.  He is a massive fan of certain authors and he and I go to author events, book signings, readings, etc.  We pass books back and forth.  He has definite interests and stays in his niches, for the most part.  He won't read if he doesn't like it - a great disappointment that he won't read the Naria books (too boring, he says, but meanwhile my DD actually did like the first 3 of those).

My DH's family's house is nearly devoid of books.  No one in the family reads for pleasure.  My family's house is crammed in ever nook and cranny with books.     So it all just depends.  [/quote]
