Reading what I wanted to read actually got me into trouble in quite a few English classes (I was a very stubborn child when I was going through secondary school). I often found myself reading things totally divergent from the texts I was assigned, simply because those types of texts did not interest me in the slightest.
As a corollary to this poll, I wonder if there are certain degree fields that make you more apt to be a reader (or just prevent you from being a pleasure reader due to time constraints). I know while I was studying for my MA in history, especially while I was writing my thesis, it was difficult for me to find the time to read for pleasure.
