That's because you're not old enough. Some people did complain. (I can't find the actual quote, but I'll wager you've seen the photo that usually accompanies it - a train full of people reading the newspaper.)

And I suppose you're lucky enough that your parents didn't complain about you reading books, like some of my friends' did.
