Often, I have the idea that my family members hate me, because I'm the only one with the necessary patience and concentration arc to have hobbies such as reading, and playing Chess and Go. They wonder how I can 'do nothing' for such a long time.
The one thing I'm always hearing is: "I don't know what to do. There is nothing to do. There's nothing on TV. I'm bored."
And still, they ask how I can 'do nothing.' I read books. I play Chess. I play Go. I (try to) play the organ and piano. Sometimes I even listen to music. (This means: listen to music being the activity; not just having music playing in the background.) I'm studying for an extra master degree. I have a lot to do on the computer, such as organizing my e-books and ripped music (still not done after two years; hell of a lot of work to get everything tagged to perfection).
This, together with doing my normal household, would be enough to fill up the next 20 years of my life. It actually often feels that going to work is like pausing my 'real' life for 10 hours.
I don't have time to be bored...

I have no readers in my family well maybe my oldest brother I'm not sure he left home when I was a toddler. He went to college got a degree and writes code for big corporations. He got away from the mess and made something out of himself so I like to think he likes to read.
I don't get bored either like you said too much to keep my interests. I am indoor person and I like being home doing what others call nothing.
