Maybe, but one of the things that frustrates me is that I know picked up a lot of things because of the books my dad had on the shelves for example. Of course he showed me many of them, but I discovered many more myself because they were there in front of me.
My Kindle books etc. are not visible to my son in the same way. Spatial, in your face, visibility matters in transferring culture.
But you may be slightly sad that a newer generation, growing with shelves full of books right in front of their eyes, is never seen picking up and leafing through a single one of them. They were into some children's books on their way to being teenagers, but now they read and watch videos on their phones, and only read on paper for school.
Then you get over it. They're whip smart and doing things their way, trying to force them into yours probably would not work anyway.
It's not universal. I recently discovered that some weird behaviors in my kid were because he was emulating Richard Feynman, having discovered Surely You're Joking on the basement bookshelf.
The thing is, it's not about forcing it, but about creating the opportunity. Maybe it wouldn't happen, but it certainly won't happen if the books aren't there
