I also read factual and fictional works unrelated to my profession to bring pleasure to the experience of reading. This provides a very welcomed balance to my relationship with reading.
I also find that the Bible is the only book that I have read over and over and learn something new every time. I can not say that about any other book that I have read in my life.
I usually read 5 to 7 novels during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays without it taking any time away from my family and religious obligations.
Sadly, I do agree with you and am also surprised that the number of people who read no books last year is not higher.
