Reading books to a newborn?

Are others reading books to newborns / what age did you start? How does this work when they're too little to understand/look at pictures? Is it just for vocabulary, and if so don't they get that from you just talking, or does it instil a love of books?

I read to my newborn. Now he's 5 and we've never missed a night where we don't have to have at least 2 books I wanted to get into the habit early, to get him to love books.

This. This is why it's important to read to me borns. Instilling a love of literature into your children is one of the greatest gifts you can ever give them.
