I think work-related books definitely count, because at least the people reading them are still reading, and they're keeping that skill set from atrophying.
My brother reads more than most of his friends, but nowhere near the amount of books that Mom, Dad, and I read, so we always worry about his reading, and we recommend him our favorite books, and they sit in his room for months. My mom's sister is the same way, except she never reads, ever. She thinks reading is stupid, and Mom's always trying to convince her otherwise.
I used to read a lot more books, back when I didn't have television and the internet to distract me. I spend a lot more time now reading fanfic than reading actual hard-copy books, and sometimes that makes me sad.
UM CAN I COME LIVE IN YOUR WORLD WITH YOU? DO YOU THINK THEY NEED ANY MORE PEOPLE TO ENACT BOOKS WITH?
