HarryT: I think it makes it more difficult, not impossible. I myself have a son that didn't read alot when he was younger. He doesn't live with me and I had a tough time influencing that. Thankfully as he got older he began to take my advice on different books and would start reading them at home. Now I'm all set (If ebookwise returns my email) to buy him an ebook reader for X-mas this year. And I even asked him whether that would interest him and he loved the idea.
I guess it is also what is instilled overall. His mother/step-father might not have had him reading, but he was never a 'bad' kid or completely aloof as so many are. And I always left that door open when he was with me.
