I'm another big reader. Never done the reading as I walk or in the shower, but definitely at meals and instead of the assigned reading in class. I still do, for that matter. And have been in trouble for it, too.
I was at at least a 12th grade level by 4th grade, and pretty much always reading as a kid. By the end of elementary school I'd pretty well exhausted the school library and most of the city library, finishing off the latter in junior high. Eventually in grade school I wound up reading my sister's Babysitter Club books, simply because I had nothing else to read.
This is in pretty stark contrast to my sister herself, who generally responds to my books with "Ewww, why are you reading that?" I'm pretty sure I read more of her BSC books than she did, but a large part of that is probably her discovering Judge Judy, Springer, and their ilk.
Off-topic - My sister is also a ridiculous EW, and I'd like to apologize ahead of time to anyone who ever has to serve her.
Anyway. I do reread pretty much anything I own aside from the more painful English assignments. Thus far that's included... well, pretty much all of them aside from The Once and Future King.
And I also write, and I've completed a NaNoWriMo along with a few short stories, but I never finish my editing.
