Then when you get older and more settled and start to slow down, you rediscover the joys of reading. At least that's what happened to me.

Same here, hated books all my life. since i turned 19 i havent put them down
so of course the sample under 20 sucks, kids hate to read for the most part. its more of an adult passion.
also, while most of my friends read, the teenage girls are more into fanfiction than novels (though they do pick up novels once in a while)
while my brothers group of friends, none of them read at all. they are too busy getting stoned.
