My kids loves reading story books. My son starts reading when he was 7 months old. He is 2.5 years old now and I notice that as he grows, his preference changes. when he was a baby, he loves animals books but as he grows, he loves books that use children to illustrate the story across. I guess the way I maintain his interest in books is by adjusting myself to his likings. Reading is a very good habit and I hope my children will cultivate the love to read for as old as they grow.

I loved reading to my son every night the last book I read him was the last Harry Potter book he would read one chapter and then I would read one. After that he wanted to read to me and now at 15 he reads all the time. As do I me at one end of the couch and he at the other - we tell each other when exciting things are happening in our book and sometimes swap books and discuss what happens in each. I miss him being little and reading to him each night. I did keep each and every book and will plan on reading them to my grandkids! It is such a special time - I recommend not matter how busy you are spend the last 15 minutes of you kids day reading to them.
