Do japanese people read at all? I'm not talking about manga, but actual literature? How popular is reading as a past-time and culturally compared to, say, the US?

Japanese didn't even have a writing system until manga was invented by Mr. M. Anga in 1912.

Of course they also read actual literature, but there is a trend towards non-fictional books like life style, guides, and self-help books.
