I must have been lucky. My parents encouraged reading at a very early age, and I've loved it my whole life. I read everything I can get my hands on -- magazines, newspapers, books, etc. I also re-read many books, and always manage to find something new each time. Maybe I'm odd, but certain times of the year put me in the mood for certain books. For Lord of the Rings, Fall seems to put me in the mood for a re-reading.
Anyway, getting back on topic...it seems like when I'm at the library I see more kids using the computers with internet access than reading books. It always puts a hop in my step when I see a kid checking out a big stack of books.
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to
