My schooling demands that I read to a large extent. It has largely ruined leisure reading for me though.
Poll: Books. Who else reads them?

I read, yes. I don't read as often as I want to, though. I read like a book a month. And even if I don't like the book, I need to finish it, even if I'm not forced to and it takes forever.
I tend to avoid genre fiction all together for some reason, prefering just general fiction. The only genre I can particularly stomach is detective fiction. I tend to dislike alot of the books recently recommended to me, like J-Pod or Cloud Atlas; books which keep getting praised by my generation.
I read quite a lot, though only in a few areas.
My fiction is made up almost exclusively of Manga and fiction I was forced to read as a student. Not that any of it was bad, but I'm a guy who likes his fiction to be more visually symbolic than literally (kind of like looking at paintings and trying to deconstruct the story behind them and all the hidden messages as well).
But my light reading is actually more in the realm of politcal science, with the final Bush at War book by Bob Woodward being my favoriate. I'm in the process of trying to aquire all four books and then reading them in succession, a process that will set me back about half a console in cash.

I read plenty, I read a novel a week for my major. It's hard to get into pleasure reading, but I try and make time.
I read constantly, usually before I go to bed, or just to relax. I've run out of things to read lately, though.
I'm a sucker for Tom Clancy and the like, also sci-fi (Neuromancer, Dune, Ringworld and the like) and political books (1984,Atlas Shrugged,The Prince, Communist Manifesto,Leviathan) Ah, hell, pretty much anything.
I've read all of Brian Keene's paperbacks, World War Z, all of the Hannibal books, The Mist, a ton of books on philosophy and religion, and RA Salvatore. I also read lots of other things, but those are the most memorable. I try to read at least an hour a day, I usually read a lot more.
well, I read pretty much classics and realistic fiction, then I read Grapes of wrath. now, if I never hear the word "Ya'll" again, it will be to soon.
school ruins books
they take something that could be entertaining and make it the worst thing in the world

I read a fair bit, heck we read every day. Signs, articles, text and instructions, your reading every day.
