Yep we had the exact same problem as well, so we started reading to him when he went to bed of a night. He was in the cot & we'd stand next to it reading, that way he couldn't reach the papers & he was quietly drinking his bottle whilst we read.

Now at 2 he brings book after book out for me to read! Sometimes though, like yesterday when we went to storytime at Borders he just didn't want to site for the story.
