Why don't more people read?

I know I personally read code at least 6 hours a day, and at the end of the day still attempt to read a book of interest (usually a text book, honestly). However, when I was reviewing my Twitter and Facebook feeds I noticed no one ever mentions books. At this point I decided to ask my friends, and make a post on Facebook on it.

Of my friends in college most (only one besides myself) reads regularly, that includes assigned readings... Further, of the people not in college only a handful read regularly and two of them are my retired grandparents.

Is there a reason besides time that people do not read?
