[Sundae]

My sister sees reading the same way I see crazy golf. Something to do on holiday to pass the time, that's fun for kids but has no place in an adult's normal day.

Then again she has two children, so has a lot more to fit into her usual day.

No, it's not a time things really - it's an attitude thing. It's just not important to her, whereas it fills a big part of my leisure time one way or another (book, magazine, internet).

Monster, I wouldn't call someone who consults non-fiction books a reader. Other than in the most literal sense that they have read something. I have drawn people diagrams of how to get to my house, I'm not a cartographer. I'm also not a fiction snob - although it is far and away my personal preference. I knew a guy into the SAS (sad but true). He gobbled up everything he could find written about them - and nothing else. I'd still have called hiom a reader.
