We must read more than school books

A lot of emphasis is given to reading in schools but after a certain age, the importance of reading is neglected. Should non-academic reading be promoted among people of all ages?

Schools and parents should promote both academic and non-academic reading at all stages and should not be the reason for children to stop reading. I feel that there is nothing better than being able to indulge yourself in a good book - a completely different world of good authors who let your imagination flow.
