Men's reading rate drops
I think everyone is reading less....for younger people it is a chore, and has been for many years. Back when we had no TV or computer I would read about 4 books a week, now I'm down to one a week...and ebooks these days. I prefer a print book, but I read at work too, so an ebook it is. Is it not considered a manly thing to do ?  Some people only read fiction, some only non fiction...but whatever we read, even if it's crap, it's a learning experience.
I read to my kids every night - I loved it, and it gave them all a love of reading themselves. I was reading to my eldest daughter up to she was 16...it was John Steinbeck by then. But we went from Rupert to Lord of the Rings and beyond. 
Books were almost lost in the Dark Ages, and there have been book burnings up to the present day - I just hope we keep having authors...and printers.
