I believe this applies to me as well. Sure, I do read a lot and do quite a range, but it's mostly because I have to and it's a) my job and b) used to be part of my required course work. But if one were to get down to it, the urge to pick up something to read has never really caught on with me. Descriptive writing doesn't appeal to me as I find them long-winded and not getting to the point, which could explain my dislike for most novels/fiction (Far as reading stuff is concerned, I'd much rather prefer news, short blurbs, non fiction... and blogs, haha!) In fact, I can count the number of novels I picked up by CHOICE in the last 7 years on one hand. (2 are short story compilations, and the rest have big font sizes, are less than 300 pages and could be finished within a day.)

But to put things into perspective, OP, not only do I have a BA in English (Cue Avenue Q, people!), I also work in the business that deals with a lot of reading and writing. And yes, even fiction. And I write a lot, and used to write fanfiction when I was very young. I'd like to think maybe it's a case of the job killing the passion, only it isn't so because it was never there. I love watching TV and movies and gaming much, much more than reading. There were only two exceptions to stories I've read and loved and read AGAIN, and I'm over 30.

Certainly, loving to read makes life easier for studies, but if it's not something you enjoy, it's not something you enjoy. Besides, we already know that trashy novels are people's guilty pleasures. I certainly fail to see how reading over-glorified thesauruses raises one's intellegence. (Admittedly, I did have a real blast reading reviews of those who've read them and picked them apart.)

People gain knowledge through different means and mediums, and you don't seem to be doing a bad job despite being 'handicapped' by this inability to enjoy reading, but hey, if no one is being a douchebag over it, then I don't see the problem.

Just saying. ;)
