If school didn't have kids read anything, do you think those same people would have spontaneously become readers?

I suspect most kids develop their like or dislike of reading long before they get to the point in school where they would be reading "classics". I came from a home where reading was encouraged and I had always liked it, so having to read a few things in school that were less than enjoyable was no big deal and didn't turn me off to reading altogether.
