I too need an "encouraged to read" category for the poll. My mother gave me books before I even learned to read. Had a cardboard box full of them. My older sisters would read them to me, so naturally I couldn't wait to read on my own. As a teenager I switched to non-fiction and the public library. Since getting my first ereader 5 years ago, have rediscovered fiction and have been reading 100+ books a year (mostly mysteries).
