seriously, make time, the best thing you can do for your child is show them the joy of reading. I don't mean to get preachy, I just know the wolrd that opened up to me when I started reading. By the time I was 11, I was reading books like "Serpico" and "The Exorcist" (not that I reomend those books for kids ;-))
In addition to fantasy, I love reading non-fiction as well, especially George Soros, Og Mandina and Ann Raynd. I also love a good Stephen King book and have troubles putting down anything by Micheal Crichton.
I used to have that problem of not having enough time reading, so I made an hour 3-4 nights per week, where the TV goes off, the computer monitor gets turned off and the kids and I all read for an hour, whether it's Harry Potter, the latest in the Dr. Seuss collection that I somehow subscribed too or even a good old Encyclopedia Brown mystery. Some nights we read to ourselves and other nights we'll have a designated reader read to the rest of us.
