Ha, I wasn't quite as voracious as that (partly due to the fact that quite early on I started to prefer the fantasy genre, in English, and most libraries had a limited supply of either. Trying to find fantasy in the school library was a lost cause) but I did not see the point of encouraging us to read, either. Reading was fun, how could I not read?
Also, I got sent to the head of the school once for 'disrupting' class when the teacher was reading a story about Sinterklaas to us, way below our level and boring as hell, and we were required to read along as well. I've always read three times faster than anyone could read aloud, so I completely failed to see the point of the excercise...
