This idea started off as one of my acquaintance asked me regarding reading?
I read the following books
Tony Buzan, "Speed Reading"
Kelly Gallagher, "Readicide: How Schools are Killing reading and what you can do about it
Steven L. Layne, "Igniting a passion for reading"
I felt I need to discuss out of curiosity
Reading consists?
How one should read?
Is there any way one can sustain reading?
motivators for reading?
I found there is a time when people (though they are serious readers - stop reading) start reading?
How to motivate certain age group to read
Do all ages get the books they want to read
Do gadgets stop one to read

The questions that you've posted are indeed very much valid in today's world. I too am not an avid reader but I've learnt the value of books at least now. One thing that I find can go into your list of answers is to have a group of friends who 'read' - this will definitely act as a catalyst for an individual to start reading and help him/her grow his/her intellectual horizon. I remember a very old saying and here it goes, "People make you feel smaller in the wrong way; books make you feel smaller in the right way." Reading gives us strength to take right decisions and also helps us to substantiate our choices. The question still haunts us, "How can we maintain a continuity in reading?" "What method must we imbibe in order to run on a reading spree for a long time?", etc.
I shall look forward to your answers Sir.
Thank you very much for the comments, in fact I am reading these days books on reading particularly the school going kids and how to make kids read books and enjoy the same. I have updated the blog with 2 books, which really made me look into various aspects of reading. I am also discussing the same with various people may be I will write an article or a book. please check the site of the author, which will help you to see the various shades of reading, though thsi is meant foe the teachers for the secondary and senior classes. http://kellygallagher.org/
Regarding reading I am sure one will start developing the taste due to various reasons. I started reading to get away from situation (shall I say to escape from this world), and surely with in me there is a quality which makes me pick books that are mostly every one enjoys as well, so I made it a habit to read. Over a period of time I realized my innate quality to choose a book, which made me to choose my profession as well. When i sit an realize this I really feel good about. There was a time when I encountered various issues, it is this reading that made me remain solid and not heartbroken. Regarding the question of how to remain lifelong reader, surely depends on the person and the kind of literature that one encounters
