We don't have a need to require reading...my son would live at Barnes & Noble or the library if they would let him...he's a total bookworm!
I was never forced to read either...rather when I was on restriction (which was sadly, a lot of the time) they would only allow me certain things...
School, Church, family functions, and my room. They would take everything else...I could read a book because this was part of school work, and church, but no telephone, radio, tapes, records, or TV...So since I could read I did...fell in love with it. Now it's the one earthly posession I have that makes me feel wealthy.
