Yep. I--and my colleagues and friends--would probably do more hobby reading if reading and writing weren't the core parts of our jobs.
But as professors we're always reading research articles, text books, reading articles we're peer reviewing, reading and grading student writing, writing our own articles etc.
So when we have free time, it's tough to want to spend it doing yet more reading! So for me I spend most of my precious free time on Movies, TV, sports and video games. And that comes after time with the girlfriend, social outings with friends etc.
Leaving reading just a chapter or two at night--and with that I'm reading for leisure. more than the vast majority of my friends, colleagues and acquaintances!
