I married a person who doesn't enjoy reading. In fact he will sometimes have me read posts and news article and then summarize them for him.
However he understands that I love to read and he supports it. My husband learned the names of my favorite authors and knows most all of their books that I own and/or have already read. He buys me books just because and for my birthday, Christmas, and any other holiday where gift giving is the norm.
He enjoys watching movies and will suggest that we sit down and watch something that he knows I just finished reading. For example I finished reading The Stand and he suggested we watch the movie that same night.
Sometimes our idea of spending quality time together is him sitting on the couch playing a video game and me curled up beside him with my nose in a book. Just enjoying be close to each other.
Finally if I really want to talk about a book he listens.

I could not date someone who hates to read, I can not stand people who live in ignorance and don't want to further their knowledge.
From personal experience I can say that it is not easy to date a reader either. The debates that one falls into about characters and plots can become very heated, very fast. This does put a bit of pressure on the couple.

All that is to say I don't think it is necessary to have a partner who reads as long as that partner is respectful and interested in YOU and your passions.
