I think the "problem" is that nowadays you are forced to get on the computer as soon as you are at home, because your friends are too. You know that feeling that you would miss something if you wouldn't go online and start Facebook?
I think it could work if you and your friends made like a deal that you all read a book for the next few weeks instead of chatting about any senseless shit.
It's the same with learning for school. Some people actually want to learn for school but then again their friends are like "hey why haven't you been online yesterday at 10 PM, there was this crazy story...". This even goes with sleeping since I know quite a lot people who are at their computer until 1 AM at school days, just because they get any random news every few minutes.

I for myself didn't read many books yet, but I know that I'm going to get some books for my birthday if I just wish them. I mean, what kind of parents wouldn't buy their children books xD
By looking at my avatar you can guess what books I would like to read. I have seen some movies but in every comment of other people who have seen the movies you could see that the books are a bit different and worth reading.
I'm not going to tell anyone in my class though, because most of them would just be like "what the hell is wrong with you?! Are you ill or something?"
