I really enjoy reading and having someone to talk to on this topic would be cool, but not absolutely necessary. Most of my friends don’t read and I still get along with them.

On the other hand, for people who do not read in general, I would still be open-minded. Some people learn by doing and sometimes, those people are the most knowledgeable. Not every life lesson is learned through reading. Everyone is different and that is okay.

I doubt that I could. I could never get emotionally close to a person who doesn't read books, mainly because we could never discuss a specific book, and the person would never be able to take any of my recommendations let alone make any recommendations of their own to me.
(This is nothing that's happening to me right now, just a random hypothetical that I've been pondering when I can't sleep at night and such. )
I absolutely understand you, I cannot see myself dating someone who hasn’t considered reading a book or does not enjoy reading a good book. However preference-wise, I am a kind of person who would love to share my love of reading to someone I like, therefore if they understand or at least sympathize with that side of me, I think that it would be alright. I think what matters is that you would date someone who you have a connection with, may it be from books or just emotions.

If I wasn't with my partner I don't think I could date someone who hated reading as it is such an important part of my life.
