Personally I wouldn't say that students "read" text books. They read portions of them, with the exception of courses in the soft sciences or liberal arts. Of course being an engineer flavors that opinion a great deal.
On the other hand, when I was in college & had to read 50 pages of a "literature" novel each night for a course, my roommate made fun of me because to relax after reading the 50 pages, I would pick up my Science Fiction book & read a while. I figured that I read a conservative 50 books (for pleasure) a year even then.
