When it comes to students and reading it is the same thing though I do believe that everyone likes reading, it's just finding the right material to ignite that enjoyment. Books are not so much an escape but a vacation in another universe, we can learn things or just enjoy ourselves as we take time to detach from our world and get lost in a book. You just can't force it, that's how you turn the natural like to a disgust.
When I read books as a kid it was because I had to, books were only for assignments so I never read them when I didn't need to. As I got older I started to find books just for me and I would occasionally read on my own but I didn't do it as much as I enjoyed it because it was such a loaded thing with a history of assignments that ruined it for me. There is also the fact that I like to do other things more than I like to read. I like to play video games and I like to read but video games are way more fun so I almost always pick them over reading because it's just a better use of my free time. The only time I read is when I'm assigned a book, which I actually like because I have to do it and I know I'll enjoy so it's not so bad.
