Yeah, I picked up a love of reading and fascination with books before starting school - my mom saw how much I enjoyed it when she read to me when I was a kid and I owe a lot to her on that. She made books exciting. On the other hand, both my parents hate reading - my father has never read a book as an adult, and my mom doesn't like to read, but she encouraged me to read. My brother doesn't read either, so I'm the oddball in the family. Of course when I had my own child, I was determined and excited to get him into reading, but despite all my efforts -- and maybe just stubborness because he knows it's what I wanted -- he is not a reader either :/
